In the aftermath of earthquakes poor seismic response was evidenced by non-structural elements such as enclosure masonry infills (MIs), characterized by a combination of in-plane …
The ability to quantify the seismic risk associated with structural and non-structural elements is a critical aspect of earthquake engineering. While methods to improve the understanding …
Seismic rapid visual screening (RVS) methods are used when a large stock of structures is to be evaluated for seismic risk. Although several RVS methods are available, applications …
Abstract The Stick‐IT model (Stick for Infilled frames Typologies), that is a MDOF system consisting of a series of lumped masses connected by nonlinear shear link elements, was …
The estimation of expected seismic losses at regional scale represents a critical issue for the assessment of the seismic risk and for the evaluation of the seismic resilience of large …
The Stick model is a MDOF system composed of masses lumped at the story level, connected in series by nonlinear shear link elements suitably calibrated to simulate the …
Several studies investigated the influence of infills on the response of reinforced concrete (RC) frames. However, possible shear brittle failures are generally neglected. The …
