Infill-frame interaction constitutes a still open question both in research and in practicing
engineering. Computational models used to predict this interaction are, in most cases …

The primary objective of this manuscript is to present a systematic review of experimental
studies regarding infill masonry walls out-of-plane (OOP) behaviour. An extended database …

A new macroelement model is presented in this paper for the simulation of the in-plane (IP)
and out-of-plane (OOP) response of infilled frames subjected to seismic actions. The model …

The paper presents an assessment framework aimed at evaluating seismic fragility and
residual capacity of masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames subject to …

Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings with clay masonry infills are a very common structural
typology worldwide for civil, strategic or productive use. Damage to infills may cause danger …

It is widely recognised that the presence of infills modifies the global structural response of
frame buildings subjected to seismic loads. Despite the substantial research carried out in …

The self-centering precast concrete (PC) frame has been proved to perform excellently
under seismic load in many studies. However, its progressive collapse-resisting mechanism …

This paper presents a performance-based earthquake engineering framework aimed at the
assessment of fragility, reliability and expected annual loss (EAL) of reinforced concrete …

Equivalent strut macromodels are largely used to model the influence of infill walls in frame
structures due to their simplicity and effectiveness from a computational point of view …

In recent earthquakes, unreinforced masonry (URM) structures built of masonry walls
containing openings such as doors and windows have been shown to have poor seismic …
