This paper provides a comphrensive review of the critical aspects of nonlinear modeling for
evaluating the seismic response of masonry structures, emphasizing the issues relevant to …

The in-plane contribution of infill walls on the structural response of infilled frame structures
is an important problem and many research initiatives, via experimental and numerical …

Infill masonry (IM) walls are considered to be non-structural elements but, when subjected to
earthquakes, they tend to interact with the surrounding RC (reinforced concrete) frames …

This paper presents a literature review of research undertaken on the out-of-plane
behaviour of masonry infilled frames. This paper also discusses the effects of bidirectional …

The behavior of historical UnReinforced Masonry (URM) buildings subjected to earthquake
loading is usually governed by a complex interaction between the in-plane and out-of-plane …

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

The role of masonry infills in the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete buildings has been
widely studied in terms of their strength and stiffness contribution in the in‐plane (IP) …

Despite the vulnerability of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures to out-of-plane (OOP)
loading, computational methods that can efficiently simulate OOP failure at the building …

The vulnerability of stone masonry structures to seismic loading constitutes one of the main
application areas of research in the field of structural engineering. This paper focuses on the …

Although the issue of the out-of-plane response of unreinforced masonry structures under
earthquake excitation is well known with consensus among the research community, this …
