The dynamic analysis of the out-of-plane response of masonry walls, with different
reinforcing systems and hit by sequences of pulses alternating in sign, representative of the …

This paper describes the results of an experimental and numerical study that focused on
multi‐directional behavior of unreinforced masonry walls and established the requisite of the …

The seismic response of five cultural heritage towers erected between the 10th and 19th
century AD are investigated herein. Firstly, their architectural and modal characteristics were …

Unreinforced masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames are a prevalent taxonomy class
not only in the Mediterranean region but also in Europe and worldwide, where buildings of …

The second corner period has become a feature in the design response spectrum provisions
in some major codes of practices with the general notion that the higher the value of the …

This article presents findings from parametric studies involving nonlinear time-history
analyses of inelastic systems with and without strength degradation. Results showed that …

Definition Masonry-Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames are a very widespread structural
typology all over the world for civil, strategic or productive uses. The damages due to these …

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 …

Unreinforced masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane horizontal bending can fail by two
alternate modes: stepped failure along the brick-mortar bond, or line failure cutting directly …

This paper introduces the use of a simple stochastic model for predicting elastic response
spectra of 5% damping for structures founded on rock sites in Singapore based on …
