Robustness of Multistory Buildings with Masonry Infill [PDF]
AbstractThis paper investigates the influence of unreinforced masonry panels on the robustness of multistory buildings under sudden column loss scenarios. A recently developed multilevel framework is employed to evaluate the resistance to progressive collapse under such scenarios, which is applied in this paper at story level allowing for the ...

Masonry infilled frames – contemporary structural concepts
Infilled frames were the focus of numerous experimental tests which have been executed to investigate the seismic behaviour of these systems, but the task remains challenging due to significantly pronounced nonlinear structural behaviour. The infill inevitably changes the “common” and well-known structural behaviour of bare steel and RC frames into a ...

Brittle failure in RC masonry infilled frames: The role of infill overstrength [PDF]
Abstract The interaction between an infill panel and a reinforced concrete (RC) column can lead to the brittle failure of the structural element. A novel combination of cutting-edge analytical modelling approaches for masonry infills and RC elements is employed to simulate five experimental tests (three infilled and two bare) characterized by brittle

COMPARISON OF NON-LINEAR MASONRY INFILL MACRO-MODELS
Reinforced-concrete frames with masonry infill are composite systems, common in low and medium-high buildings, whose behavior under earthquake loads is difficult to predict. Because of that, most national codes ignore the contribution of infill to the structural response.

Seismic behaviour of traditional timber frame walls: experimental results on unreinforced walls [PDF]
Timber frame buildings are well known as an efficient seismic resistant structure and they are used worldwide. Moreover, they have been specifically adopted in codes and regulations during the XVIII and XIX centuries in the Mediterranean area.

The effect of masonry infill walls on the reinforced concrete frames behavior under lateral load [PDF]
The reinforced concrete structures with masonry infill walls are widely used to construct buildings in Algeria, as in many parts of the world. According to earthquake analysis, this type of construction can undergo serious damage under seismic load.

POJEDNOSTAVLJENI PRISTUPI MODELIRANJU OKVIRA S ISPUNOM [PDF]
In many seismic areas, reinforced-concrete frames are filled with masonry infill walls. The behavior of these structural composite systems are difficult to model, and existing regulations lack guidelines for their design.

Finite-discrete element modelling of masonry infill walls subjected to out-of-plane loads [PDF]
In this paper, the out-of-plane response of infill walls is investigated by means of non-linear monotonic (push-over) analyses through a combined finite and discrete modelling approach.
