The effect of infill panels on the response of RC frames subjected to seismic action is widely
recognised and has been subject of numerous experimental investigations, while several …

Proposed in this paper are two analytical models for predicting the inelastic response of
unreinforced brick masonry infills in reinforced concrete frames subjected to monotonic and …

Reinforced concrete frames with unreinforced masonry infill walls represent a widely
adopted building system. During seismic events, infill walls, usually considered as non …

Masonry walls are widely used in existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures, either as
external infill or as internal partitions. Although their mechanical contribution is usually …

The recent large interest in nonlinear seismic analysis methods, static and dynamic, has
required proper strategies of modeling based on reliable, and at the same time easy to use …

The behavior of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames under cyclic lateral loading is
complicated because a number of different failure mechanisms can be induced by the frame …

In structural analyses, masonry infill walls are commonly considered to be non structural
elements. However, the response of reinforced concrete buildings to earthquake loads can …

In this paper, a technique is presented which employs the results of pseudo‐dynamic tests
for the development of a mathematical model. This technique, described by means of the …

It is well known that masonry infills, although non-engineered and considered as non-
structural, may provide most of the earthquake resistance and prevent collapse of relatively …

An inelastic finite element model to simulate the behaviour of reinforced concrete frames
infilled with masonry panels subjected to static load and earthquake excitation has been …
