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 …

The extension of the damages observed after the last major earthquakes shows that the
seismic risk mitigation of infilled reinforced concrete structures is a paramount topic in …

The work presented in this study aimed to investigate the influence of infill walls on the
progressive collapse performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames. An experimental …

The analysis of the behaviour of masonry infills under out-of-plane (OOP) and in-plane (IP)
loading is paramount to correctly assess the seismic performance of reinforced concrete …

The out-of-plane capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls is crucial for their overall
stability and safety, especially after being damaged by in-plane forces. A nonlinear finite …

The reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frames with masonry infill walls are widely
used in buildings. It has been well recognized that the arrangement and constructional detail …

During earthquakes, infills are subjected to In-Plane (IP) and Out-Of-Plane (OOP) actions. In
the case of strong earthquakes, infills may progressively change their mechanical behavior …

Innovative materials such as steel reinforced grout (SRG) have shown superior behavior in
terms of sustainability and compatibility comparing to their FRP counterparts for external …

In this study, the effect of masonry infill walls on the progressive collapse mechanisms of
steel frames is investigated. Three two-story by four-bay steel frames are designed: a bare …

This paper detailed the development of a numerical model for simulating the nonlinear
behaviour of the concrete masonry infilled RC frames subjected to in-plane lateral loading …
