Influence of Infill Wall Configuration on Failure Modes of RC Frames
An improper configuration of masonry infill walls in RC frame may lead to short column effect on the columns, which is harmful to the seismic behavior of the structure.

Effects of Single and Multi Openings in Brick Infills on the Seismic Response of Infilled RC Frames
Many researchers have performed a lot of studies of the seismic behavior reinforced concrete (RC) frame with masonry infill. They found that masonry infill affects the lateral strength, stiffness and ductility performance of the RC frame structures ...

Numerical analysis of reinforced concrete frame buildings with decoupled infill walls [PDF]
Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with masonry infill walls are widely used in many countries all over the world. Although infills are considered as non-structural elements, they significantly change dynamic characteristics of RC frame structures during

Assessment of seismic retrofitting interventions in reinforced concrete structures
Destruction of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, particularly non-ductile RC structures, in recent earthquakes demonstrate their vulnerability under lateral forces generated in an earthquake.

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Study on Seismic Performance of RC Frame Structures Considering the Effect of Infilled Walls
This paper studies the impact of half-height infilled walls on the failure modes of frame columns through quasi-static tests of both frame models and half-height infilled wall frame models.

Experimental assessment and retrofit of full-scale models of existing RC frames [PDF]
PSD tests on two full-scale models of existing non-seismic resisting RC frame structures are described. The testing program covered several aspects, namely assessment of seismic performance of existing frames without and with infill panels ...
