Experimental tests on strengthening strategies for masonry infill walls: A literature review

, 2020
The masonry infill walls’ seismic behaviour is being characterized by extensive damages and out-of-plane (OOP) collapses due to combined in-plane and OOP loading demands.

Analysis Model for Concrete Infill Slit-Wall

2009
This paper discussed analytic models of frame-slit-wall system suggested by JGJ99-98 and pointed out the necessity of considering shear deformation of web of steel beams when determining the section of equivalent cross bracing or shear plate. The models suggested by JGJ99-98 cannot predict the actual shear forces in steel girders, its bending ...

Infill Walls with Sliding Joints to Limit Infill-Frame Seismic Interaction: Large-Scale Experimental Test

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2011
This article presents the results of an experimental campaign on the in-plane behavior of masonry infill walls. Four tests were performed on large-scale specimens to evaluate the infill deformation capacity and damage for different drift levels. A design solution adopting horizontal sliding joints was proposed for reducing the infill-frame interaction,

Effect of concrete masonry infill walls on progressive collapse performance of reinforced concrete infilled frames

Engineering structures, 2019
In practice, infilled frame is a common structure but the contribution of infill walls is typically ignored in previous research on progressive collapse.

Effect of concrete infill walls on the progressive collapse performance of precast concrete framed substructures

, 2020
Precast concrete (PC) frames are considered vulnerable to progressive collapse as inadequate ties between precast components can lead to a loss of structural continuity.

Out-of-plane capacity equations for masonry infill walls accounting for openings and boundary conditions

, 2020
A large part of 20th and 21st centuries’ residential buildings is characterised by reinforced concrete, or less frequently steel, frames filled with masonry walls.

Strengthening of Infill Masonry Walls with FRP Materials

Journal of Composites for Construction, 2011
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of different externally bonded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) systems for increasing the out-of-plane resistance of infill masonry walls to loading. The research included a comprehensive experimental program comprising 14 full-scale specimens, including four unstrengthened (control) specimens and 10 ...

A Critical Review of Methods for Determining the Damage States for the In-plane Fragility of Masonry Infill Walls

Journal of earthquake engineering, 2020
We subjected nine full-scale masonry infilled reinforced concrete frame specimens to quasi-static cyclic loading to critically review the methods for determining the damage state of masonry infill walls to develop reliable in-plane fragility functions ...

RC-frames infilled with rc infill-walls for seismic retrofitting

2021
The seismic retrofitting of existing multi-storey multi-bay reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings by the conversion of selected bays into new RC infilled walls is the subject of this research work. The parametric study of the contribution of dowels that connect a new RC infill wall to the surrounding RC frame members was performed through nonlinear ...
