Masonry infill walls should have sufficient out-of-plane stability to ensure the safety of people
and the performance of safety-relevant components. The behaviour of masonry infill walls …

Masonry is a prevalent human chronicle substance used all over the globe as it offers
significant advantages concerning building execution time, consumption, and costs despite …

The geometric nonlinearity of off-diagonal bracing system (ODBS) could be a
complementary system to covering and extending the nonlinearity of reinforced concrete …

Micro, simplified micro and macro modelling are used for the numerical modeling of the
masonry. In this study, the efficiency of a 3-dimensional fixed smeared crack model in the …

The damage pattern of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures in
earthquake events is complicated, and understanding the detailed failure behavior of these …

This paper investigates experimentally and numerically the behaviors of retrofitted masonry
infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames using totally bonded or partially bonded diagonal …

This paper assesses the factors those influence the in-plane structural behavior of masonry
infill frames when exposed to seismic loading. The assessment is carried out using an infill …

This paper presents verification of the numerical model of masonry infill walls against the
experimental results. Three cases are investigated: an undamaged model, a damaged …

In this paper, the out-of-plane response of infill walls is investigated by means of non-linear
monotonic (push-over) analyses through a combined finite and discrete modelling …

A weak connection between the infill wall and the frame increases the probability of
premature collapse during an earthquake, which can cause the loss of many lives. In this …
