Seismic Fragility Analysis of Hollow Concrete Block Infilled Reinforced Concrete Buildings
International Research Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Technology, 2022 Masonry infills are usually treated as nonstructural elements in buildings, and their interaction with the bounding frame is often ignored in analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. The main aim of this study is to develop a seismic fragility curves showing the probability of exceeding a damage limit state for a given structure type ...

Mechanical Properties of Concrete and Hollow Concrete Blocks Containing Steel and Nylon Fibres
International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2019 An attempt has been made in this paper to study the effect on the mechanical properties of the concrete and hollow concrete block when different types of fibres were added to the mix. The two different types of fibres added include Steel fibres with hooked end and of length 60mm at five different fibre ratios of 2.5%, 2.75%, 3.0%, 3.25% and 3.5% and ...

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Hollow Concrete Block Infilled Reinforced Concrete Buildings
, 2019 Masonry infills are usually treated as non-structural elements in buildings, and their interaction with the bounding frame is often ignored in analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. Nature, however, makes no such distinction, and tests the whole building under simulated ground motions and so that many non-structural components may be ...
