The extension of the damages observed after the last major earthquakes shows that the
seismic risk mitigation of infilled reinforced concrete structures is a paramount topic in …

The presence of infill masonry (IM) walls in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is very
common. The infill walls are widely used for partition purposes and to provide thermal and …

One of the main challenges in earthquake risk mitigation is the assessment of existing
buildings not designed according to modern codes and the development of effective …

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 …

Past and recent earthquakes showed that the seismic performance of buildings is strongly
influenced by the presence and contribution of unreinforced masonry (URM) infills, which …

Recent earthquakes show that masonry infill walls should be taken into account during the
design and assessment process of structures, since this type of non-structural elements …

The present paper constitutes an analytical study on the seismic behaviour of infilled
reinforced concrete frames within the context of the Performance Based Earthquake …

In most of the Reinforced Concrete buildings in Greece, as well as in other earthquake
prone countries, the current infill construction, for the exterior walls of buildings, consists in a …

The contribution of infill masonry (IM) walls to the seismic performance of buildings can be
favourable or not depending on several phenomena, detailing aspects and mechanical …

Unreinforced masonry infilled RC frames are a widespread structural system worldwide;
even if the damages observed during past earthquakes highlight the influence of masonry …
