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 …

Un-reinforced masonry walls are commonly used as infills in reinforced concrete (RC)
buildings. These buildings have high in-plane stiffness and strength, and therefore, the …

Masonry walls, when built to infill a frame structure, have been shown to have a significant
effect on the strength, stiffness, and seismic properties of the frame structure. The accurate …

The interaction between the masonry infill wall and the surrounding RC frames and the
positive or negative consequences of integrating infill walls into a frame is often ignored for …

This paper presents an experimental study on the in-plane behavior of a masonry infilled
frame system, referred to as all-masonry infilled frames. This infilled frame system is one …

Infilled frame constructions have been in use for more than 200 years. Masonry infills have
often been treated as nonstructural elements and their structural presence is often ignored …

Unreinforced masonry Infills modify the behavior of framed structures under lateral loads;
however, in practice, the infill stiffness is commonly ignored in frame analysis, resulting in an …

The paper presents results of a finite element (FE) study of several critical geometric
parameters on the out-of-plane behaviour of concrete masonry infills bounded by reinforced …

In the last few decades, important attention was given to infill masonry panels due to their
worldwide uses. Many experimental and numerical studies were conducted to study their …

The masonry infill walls influence substantially the response of reinforced concrete (RC)
buildings under lateral loading due to their contribution to strength and stiffness. In the …
