Masonry is a building material that has been used in the last 10.000 years and remains competitive today for the building industry. The compressive strength of masonry is used in …
The recent large interest in nonlinear seismic analysis methods, static and dynamic, has required proper strategies of modeling based on reliable, and at the same time easy to use …

The paper presents an assessment framework aimed at evaluating seismic fragility and residual capacity of masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames subject to …
During the last decades, several macro-models have been proposed for the modelling of the infill panels' contribution to the lateral strength of frames. Despite all this effort, a robust …
Equivalent strut macromodels are largely used to model the influence of infill walls in frame structures due to their simplicity and effectiveness from a computational point of view …
During earthquakes, infills are subjected to In-Plane (IP) and Out-Of-Plane (OOP) actions. In the case of strong earthquakes, infills may progressively change their mechanical behavior …

A novel macromechanical model with damage for the analysis of masonry structures in- plane loaded is presented. The model accounts for the directional mechanical properties …
Infill masonry walls in framed structures make a significant contribution to the response under seismic actions. With special regard to reinforced concrete (RC) structures, it is known …
