In developing countries prone to frequent earthquakes, it is common practice to use masonry
infill walls as partitions in reinforced concrete frame buildings. Frames with infill have smaller …

The macro-models method is one of the main categories for modeling infills based on the
equivalent strut method. The basic parameter of these struts is their equivalent width, which …

Buildings with masonry infill walls (MIWs) in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly
used all around the world. It is well known that infill walls may affect the strength, stiffness …

Several factors influence the behaviour of infilled frames, which have been a subject of
research in the past with moderate success. The new generation of European design …

Polymer matrix composite (PMC)-infill walls hold great promise for energy dissipation when
used in retrofitting applications where seismic activity is a consideration. This paper presents …

A significant number of short-to-mid height RC buildings with wide beams have been
constructed in areas of moderate seismicity of Spain, mainly for housing and administrative …

The use of a continuum structural model for the analysis of masonry structures in the plane
stress state is discussed in this paper. Attention is paid to orthotropic masonry at the material …

Simple methods for determining the corner crushing strength and the in-plane stiffness of
masonry infills are developed. The methods are applicable to structural clay tile, clay brick …

The assessment of the seismic vulnerability and collapse potential of masonry-infilled RC
frame buildings presents a significant challenge because of the complicated failure …

After much previous research, many controversial issues related to well developed design
recommendations and well accepted analytical procedures for infilled frames are still …
