Infilled walls and frames typically employ closely spaced rigid connection, which, under seismic actions, can lead to adverse effects such as amplified seismic responses, overall torsion, and the formation of weak layers in the structure.

This study proposes a new analytical model to evaluate interactions between reinforced concrete (RC) columns and masonry infill. An infill is replaced by a diagonal strut and its width is defined by column/infill contact length.

Horizontal stiffness of masonry walls infilled frame [PDF]
Walls used to fill a frame structure may serve non-load bearing (visual, acoustic or fire separation) or load bearing and stiffening functions which provide geometrical stability of a structure.

Seismic assessment via EC8 of modern heritage structures:Knowledge of the structure and analysis methodologies [PDF]
Given the interest earned recently by modern heritage structures, seismic assessment criteria of Eurocode 8, for ordinary reinforced concrete structures, are applied to a modern heritage RC building.

Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Analysis and Design Methods for Infilled Frames with Confined Openings
Openings in the walls of infilled frame structural systems are very common. Reinforcement around the wall openings confines and strengthens the wall, making an infilled frame with a confined opening (IFcO) a reliable structural system for seismically

ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Behavior of masonry infill panels in RC frames subjected to in plane and out of plane loads [PDF]
The building envelope in Europe is usually made of masonry walls, with enclosure and infill functions. Masonry walls have a major economical importance and contribute significantly to the building performance.
