This study investigates the seismic response of archetype infilled reinforced concrete
buildings representative of the existing Italian residential building stock by focusing on the …

A significant correlation between the in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) damage
propagation of masonry infills (MIs) is frequently observed after strong earthquakes, posing …

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 …

Research efforts are still required for modelling the seismic behaviour of infilled frames,
especially for existing buildings, generally characterised by shear failures. This work …

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 …

Masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames represent a very common construction typology
across the Mediterranean countries. The presence of infills substantially modifies the global …

The paper investigates the complex local interaction occurring between masonry infills and
reinforced concrete (RC) frames subject to seismic loads, and its impact on the actual …

The presence of masonry walls has a significant effect on the seismic response of structures.
The infill panels can increase the overall lateral stiffness and strength of structures. This …

Despite extensive research studies, the seismic response of infilled reinforced concrete
buildings remains an open problem due to both the complexity of the interaction between …

Recently, reinforced concrete infilled frames (IF) are widely employed in construction
worldwide. Despite its significant interaction with the bounding RC frame, the infill is typically …
