This paper presents verification of the numerical model of masonry infill walls against the
experimental results. Three cases are investigated: an undamaged model, a damaged …

This paper presents the results of experimental and analytical investigations of an
unreinforced masonry wall (URM) exposed to continuous tensile-compressive cyclic …

Masonry walls in buildings can change dramatically the behavior of the infill RC frames
under lateral loads. Therefore, many attempts were achieved to prevent the brittle collapse …

The current research work aims to investigate the seismic performance of the reinforced
concrete structures fully, as well as, partially infilled with masonry infill (MI) walls. For that, a …

Confined masonry (CM) is an effective building construction technology for low-tech
construction in seismic-prone regions. This paper focuses on developing a numerical model …

Masonry infill walls are often used as non-structural elements. According to the past
structural failure, ignorance of interaction between infill walls and enclosed frame may lead …

A numerical study was carried out to simulate the in-plane behaviour of a 1: 2.5 scaled one-
storey one-bay masonry-infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame retrofitted with textile …

Nowadays, using infill isolators in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures is very common. In
earlier research this infill isolators are usually considered as non-structural elements, but in …

Synopsis: A significant portion of existing building stock that was constructed prior to the
enactment of modern seismic design provisions consists of gravity-load-designed reinforced …

The paper presents the experimental and numerical study of brick masonry walls reinforced
with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite subjected to a shear load. In this …
