On the fundamental period of infilled RC frame buildings [PDF]
This paper investigates the fundamental period of vibration of RC buildings by means of finite element macro-modelling and modal eigenvalue analysis. As a base study, a number of 14-storey RC buildings have been considered \"according to code designed\" and \"according to code non-designed\". Several parameters have been studied including the number of

Numerical model of a masonry infilled RC frame
The response of reinforced concrete frame structures with a masonry infill to seismic action can be represented by models of different levels of complexity such as: detailed and simplified micromodels or macromodels. Macromodels have the lowest requirement for the input of material properties and allow the shortest computational time without losing the

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

An investigation on behavior of RC frames with non-interacting infill wall
Abstract Infill walls, which are generally assumed as dead loads in building design, affect the lateral resistance, stiffness, and energy consumption of the frames. Investigations conducted after earthquakes show that the infill walls, whose effects are neglected in the design, can change the earthquake behavior of the structure and cause unforeseen ...

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
