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

Masonry infill (MI) walls are remarkable in increasing the initial stiffness of reinforced
concrete (RC) frames, and being the stiffer component, attract most of the lateral seismic …

Over the last 100 years, confined masonry construction has emerged as a building
technology that offers an alternative to both unreinforced masonry and RC frame …

Performance of infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) frames is generally questionable
under the combined action of in-plane and out-of-plane seismic demands. Despite the vast …

Lateral stiffness provided by infill walls to the building structures is generally neglected in
designs. Infill walls, which are only included in the calculations as dead loads, significantly …

Post-earthquake evidence indicates that traditional rural masonry structures in China do not
perform well when subjected to large intensity ground shaking. Because common cast-in …

This paper presents results of in-plane shear tests carried out at the ZAG laboratory in
Ljubljana (Slovenia) on a RC frame with masonry infill made of clay blocks (KEBE …

A novel technique for enhancing the out-of-plane behaviour of masonry infill walls is
proposed herein. The technique involves the use of a thin layer of engineered cementitious …

The effects of infill panels on the response of rc frames subjected to seismic action are
widely recognized. Numerous experimental investigations were effected and several …

The work described herein sets out to investigate experimentally (via drop-weight testing)
the out-of-plane behaviour of beam-like masonry specimens under impact loading when …
