This paper proposes a novel frame element on Winkler-Pasternak foundation for analysis of
a non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) member resting on foundation. These structural …

Concrete block infill walls, due to their high strength and stiffness, can significantly influence
the seismic behavior of the frames. The infill walls can increase the overall lateral frame …

Although structures have been built from masonry for many years, little is still known about
the behaviour of a wall subject to in-plane shear. This is particularly true of partially grouted …

Masonry infill walls are vulnerable and have an adverse impact on the reinforced concrete
(RC) frame structures under strong ground motions. Some retrofit schemes were proposed …

In this paper, we present a proposal for a retrofit system for existing reinforced-concrete (RC)
buildings consisting in the use of precast concrete panels, designed for improving both the …

In this article, four pseudo-static tests of infilled RC frames were performed, including an
unmodified solid infilled RC frame, an unmodified infilled RC frame with opening and two …

Lateral load behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) frames infilled with fly-ash brick masonry
having various sizes of central openings was investigated experimentally. Results showed …

In this study, an experimental program was performed on masonry-infilled frame specimens
with varied construction precision and masonry thickness. A total of five portal frame …

Glass fibre reinforced gypsum (GFRG) panels are light-weight, load bearing wall panels that
can be used for the rapid construction of affordable and eco-friendly houses. Numerous …

In this paper, a post-earthquake damage assessment method for 11 different structural
systems is proposed. The method is mainly based on residual inter-story drift ratios of all …
