Over the last 50 years, research has mainly focused on characterizing the In-Plane behaviour of unreinforced masonry infill walls. Recently, the focus of research has been …
Seismic events worldwide clearly showed that a crucial issue for life-safety and reduction of losses due to earthquakes for reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is related to the out-of …
The out-of-plane (OOP) response of unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls under seismic loading has been widely studied in very recent times with both experimental and numerical …
The in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) seismic collapse of masonry infills (MIs) may induce devastating economic and social consequences for public buildings such as …
A large part of 20th and 21st centuries' residential buildings is characterised by reinforced concrete, or less frequently steel, frames filled with masonry walls. Recent seismic events …

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 primary objective is to present the most representative types of damage observed in reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to earthquakes. Those damages are divided …

ABSTRACT A unified procedure for assessing the effectiveness of modelling strategies for existing buildings is proposed. The procedure is applied to unreinforced masonry and cast …
Abstract In existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings, the out-of-plane (OOP) collapse of masonry infills can be a significant issue for resulting damage and life safety in case of …
