In this paper, a procedure is proposed for the use of multi-strut models for the structural
analysis of RC frames infilled with participating masonry subjected to lateral loads. It is …

The behavior of single-storey, single-bay reinforced concrete infilled frame with masonry
panel subjected to static horizontal load was studied using two structural models: i) …

Abstract Evaluation of the seismic performance of infill frame structural systems using
equivalent strut models and pushover analysis has gained popularity due to the simplicity of …

Due to the influences of several parameters such as brick and mortar properties, interaction
between brick and mortar and etc., engineers encounter challenges in modeling and …

In this paper, seismic analyses are performed of a reinforced concrete frame building with
participating masonry walls are carried out. The spectral method of the Brazilian code–ABNT …

Generally two methods are proposed for analyzing the infilled frames; Micro modelling
approach which finite element method is used to take into account local effects in detail and …

It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings
can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be …

The assessment of the response of masonry infilled RC frame structures has been a major
challenge over the last decades. While several modeling approaches have been proposed …

In this paper, the results of a study on the effect of brick masonry infill panels with centrally
located openings on the performance of reinforced concrete frames under lateral loading is …

An RC frame structure with masonry infill walls (“framed-masonry”) exposed to lateral loads
acts as a composite structure. Numerical simulation of framed-masonry is difficult and …
