The reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frames with masonry infill walls are widely
used in buildings. It has been well recognized that the arrangement and constructional detail …

Concrete block infill walls, due to their high strength and stiffness, can significantly influence
the seismic behavior of the frames. The infill walls can increase the overall lateral frame …

Infill walls significantly affect the dynamic characteristics and the seismic performance of
reinforced concrete (RC) frames. To evaluate the influence of connection type and …

This article investigates the seismic behavior of masonry infilled RC frames with/without
openings. Four full-scale, single-story, and single-bay specimens were tested under …

Masonry infills in reinforced concrete buildings cause several undesirable effects under
seismic loading: short-column effect, soft-storey effect, torsion, and out-of-plane collapse …

Due to the architectural efficiency of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames, the frames
are highly common structural forms for buildings. However, the infills can significantly modify …

The influence of masonry infills with openings on the seismic performance of reinforced
concrete (R/C) frames that were designed in accordance with modern codes provisions is …

An experimental investigation is conducted to study the behaviour of masonry-infilled
reinforced concrete (RC) frames with various lateral strengths. In addition, we study the …

This study investigates the role of masonry infill walls in the responses and failure modes of
RC frames subjected to earthquake, by applying shaking table tests on two three-story, two …

Masonry infill walls of reinforced concrete frame structures are commonly used for non-
engineered and engineered buildings. For this establishment, exterior walls and interior …
