Comparative assessment of strut models for the modelling of in-plane seismic response of infill walls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The influence of infills on the seismic response of frame structures has long been recognised. Typically, stiffness and strength of the infill and connections between infill and frame are such that the infill affects the global seismic behaviour of the

Non-linear approaches to the response of brick masonry wall to lateral loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The response of brick masonry wall subjected to lateral loading is presented in this paper. Modelling and analysis of masonry seems to be complicated due to two-component material with different properties and dimensions.

Seismic Performance Assessment of Low-Rise Unreinforced and Confined Brick Masonry School Buildings Using the Applied Element Method

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
Masonry buildings are generally vulnerable to seismic action, as evidenced extensively in past earthquakes. In order to improve their seismic performance, several modifications have been introduced, such as reinforcing or confining the masonry.

Shear critical R/C columns under increasing axial load [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Structural elements in old reinforced concrete (R/C) frame buildings are often prone to shear or flexure-shear failure, which can eventually lead to loss of axial load capacity of vertical elements and initiate vertical progressive collapse of a building.

Sustainable housing using confined masonry buildings [PDF]

open access: yesSN Applied Sciences, 2019
Much of India is prone to substantial earthquakes, and vulnerability associated with both unreinforced masonry (URM) and improperly built reinforced concrete (RC) frame constructions has been unmasked by past earthquakes. URM structures present a severe hazard in earthquake-prone regions.

Experimental Vibration Analysis in the Knowledge Process of a Historic Confined Masonry Building

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
Experimental vibrational analysis is used in the knowledge process of a historic building, made of confined masonry, a construction system suggested in the reconstruction after the 1915 earthquake at Avezzano, Italy.

A multi-level interface model for damaged masonry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of the present work is to propose a new micro-mechanical model in the context of the deductive approach used to derive interface models. This model, based on a previous study introduced previously by A. Rekik and F.

The effect of masonry infill walls on the reinforced concrete frames behavior under lateral load [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The reinforced concrete structures with masonry infill walls are widely used to construct buildings in Algeria, as in many parts of the world. According to earthquake analysis, this type of construction can undergo serious damage under seismic load.

Masonry wall panels retrofitted with thermal-insulating GFRP-reinforced jacketing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Today there is a need to provide thermally efficient walls, while at the same time to increase the mechanical properties of old unreinforced masonry walls that will not require large amounts of energy in the retrofitting or deconstruction processes.

Experimental Study on Seismic Strengthening of Confined Masonry Walls Using RPC

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Masonry structures without effective reinforcement are vulnerable to seismic excitation. An innovative strengthening technique was proposed for damaged and undamaged masonry walls.
