Effect of prior in-plane damage on the out-of-plane behavior of masonry infill walls

Engineering structures, 2021
Out-of-plane collapse is one of the most important failure modes for masonry infill walls in frame structures during earthquakes and may result in significant economic loss, blocked evacuation pathways and even injuries and fatalities. To investigate the

Seismic behavior of novel low‐damage precast infill walls with sliding joints for reinforced concrete frame

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2022
The detrimental infill‐frame interaction and vulnerable nature of the traditional solid infill walls might change the seismic behavior of the infilled reinforced concrete frames.

Empirical prediction of the in-plane/out-of-plane interaction effects in clay brick unreinforced masonry infill walls

, 2021
The out-of-plane (OOP) response of unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls under seismic loading has been widely studied in very recent times with both experimental and numerical investigations. It is recognized that the damage of infills due to in-plane

Experimental Investigation on the Possible Effect of Previous Damage, Workmanship and Test Setup on the Out-of-plane Behaviour of Masonry Infill Walls

Journal of earthquake engineering, 2021
The poor out-of-plane behaviour of masonry infill-walls (MIW) in recent earthquakes, resulted in several casualties and economic losses. The main objective of this work is to present an experimental campaign comprised of four out-of-plane tests of full ...

The Study on Infilled Walls Effect in RC Frame Infilled Wall Structure

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
The seismic damage and even collapse of the infilled walls in RC frame infilled wall structure is the issue that needs thorough study, In this paper, firstly introduces the improved infilled wall model which can consider the interaction of in-plane and out-of-plane, and can judge the damage state of infilled walls, as well as the interaction between RC

Experimental and numerical investigation of new flexible connection elements between infill walls-RC frames

, 2021
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 affect the lateral resistance, stiffness and energy ...

Cyclic behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete block infill walls strengthened by basalt and glass fiber composites

, 2021
In this study, the effects of 10 mm bilaterally applied basalt and glass fiber reinforced (BRC and GRC) cementitious plasters with different fiber content (1.0%, 2.0% and 3.0%) on the behavior of the autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block infill walls ...

Infilled Walls for Earthquake Strengthening

Journal of the Structural Division, 1979
Five one-half scale reinforced concrete frames were constructed and tested under static reversed cycle loads to determine experimentally the effectiveness of infilled walls in strengthening and stiffening existing framed structures against earthquake loads.
