Influence of Infill-to-Frame Connection on the Seismic Response of RC Frames

2023
Existing reinforced concrete buildings subjected to medium intensity earthquake loads often exhibit significant damage to structural and non-structural components that may compromise the structural safety and the building repairability. This damage is commonly concentrated on infills and partitions leading to relevant economic losses.

MID1.0: Masonry Infilled RC Frame Experimental Database

2018
Experimental campaigns are a key tool for the evaluation of the behaviour of Masonry Infilled Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames. The case of masonry infills in RC frames is also a regional feature making the homogenous classification for a database a real challenge. This first attempt of a Masonry Infill Database (MID) includes a preliminary selection of

Seismic retrofitting of RC frames with RC infilling (SERFIN Project)

2023
The effectiveness of seismic retrofitting of multi-storey multi-bay RC-frame buildings by converting selected bays into new walls through infilling with reinforced concrete (RC) was studied experimentally at the ELSA facility of the Joint Research Centre in Ispra (Italy).

Seismic Reliability of Masonry-Infilled RC Frames

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2001
This study focuses on the probabilistic assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) frames infilled with clay brick walls and subjected to earthquake loading. The adopted methodology extends from that previously developed by the writers for bare RC frames by the introduction of additional random variables to account for the uncertainty in the masonry ...

Experimental Evaluation of Masonry-Infilled RC Frames

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1996
The influence of masonry infill panels on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames that were designed in accordance with current code provisions are investigated. Two types of frames are considered. One was designed for wind loads and the other for strong eqrthquake forces.

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 ...

AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF INFILL PANELS IN RC FRAMES

Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2013), 2014
The use of macro-modeling approaches based on the concept of the equivalent strut for simulating infill panels presents a number of critical aspects, mainly related to the variability of the results from the parameters adopted (for example: width of the strut, non-linear constitutive law under cyclic actions, assignment of strut mechanical properties ...

EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF RC FRAMES WITH DECOUPLED MASONRY INFILLS

Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019
Masonry infill walls are commonly used in reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures, also in seismically active areas, although they often experience serious damage during earthquakes. One of the main reasons for their poor behaviour is the connection to the frame, which is usually constructed using mortar.

The Influence of the Seismic Action on the RC Infilled Frames

IOSR Journal of Engineering, 2014
The effects of the masonry panels on the seismic performance of the reinforced concrete frames depend on different factors: the building geometry, the mechanical characteristics of the infill, the intensity of the seismic action. The infills can provide an important contribution to the overall strength and stiffness, saving the building from collapsing

Seismic Performance of Non-Ductile RC Frames with Brick Infill

Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Buildings and Other Structures, 2009
This paper summarizes some of the findings of a research project that investigates the seismic performance of masonry-infilled, non-ductile, RC frames, including the development of reliable analytical methods for performance assessment and effective retrofit techniques.
