Significant damage to existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures during recent
earthquakes has highlighted the potential detrimental effect of non-structural masonry infills …

Infilled frames are usually modelled in the context of global building analysis using
simplified procedures without considering the aspects resulting from the interaction between …

In line with the current European building practice, clay masonry infills are commonly
adopted for the construction of enclosures and partitions in RC frame structures. In order to …

One of the main challenges in earthquake risk mitigation is the assessment of existing
buildings not designed according to modern codes and the development of effective …

Abstract Infill Masonry Walls (IMWs) are used in the perimeter of a building to separate the
inner and outer space. IMWs may affect the lateral behavior of buildings, while they are …

The damage to non structural masonry infills in RC frame structures induced by earthquake
ground motions represents a considerable source of economic losses and a serious threat …

The sensitivity of the seismic response parameters to the uncertain modelling variables of
the infills and frame of four infilled reinforced concrete frames was investigated using a …

Unpreventable constructional defects are the main issues in the case of steel Moment-
Resisting Frames (MRFs) that mostly occur in the rigidities of beam-to-column connections …

The presence of openings greatly affects the response of unreinforced masonry (URM)
walls. This topic greatly attracts the attention of many researchers. Perforated unreinforced …

Recent earthquakes have demonstrated a significant contribution of the masonry infill walls
in the structural response of the reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. Field observations after …
