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 …

This paper introduces a new analytical approach for the evaluation of shear strength and
cracking pattern of masonry infill panels. This method is based on minimizing the factor of …

Concrete frame with masonry infill has been the subject of many studies, both experimental
as numerical, to assess the contribution of the masonry in the structural behaviour of …

The usual design practice of structures does not include the contribution of masonry infill
panels, due to the common belief that this is a conservative procedure. However …

This thesis focuses on the seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete structures with masonry
infills, with particular interest in the development of rational procedures for the design and …

Confined masonry buildings are used in rural and urban areas of Iran. They performed
almost satisfactory during past moderate earthquakes of Iran. There is not a methodology in …

Recent earthquakes have warned the scientific community that the old structures are not the
only ones to have high seismic vulnerability, the reinforced concrete structures have shown …

Several factors influence the behaviour of masonry infilled frames, which have been the
subject of previous research with moderate success. The new generation of European …
