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 ...

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

In-Plane Cyclic Response of Separated Masonry Infill Walls Using Polymeric Materials at the Surrounding Steel Frames Interface Using 3D FE Analysis [PDF]
Masonry infill walls are commonly used as partitions and exterior walls in many countries. Generally, the masonry wall is executed without any gap from the frame, which leads to the interaction between the structural frame and the infill wall ...

Development of Fragility Curves for Brick Infill Walls in Steel Frame Structures [PDF]
Brick infill walls are one of the most common types of nonstructural elements used for exterior enclosures as well as interior partitions in steel frame buildings. The recent earthquakes have shown that damage to masonry infill walls may cause danger for

On the Influence of Masonry Infills in Concrete Buildings [PDF]
The stresses induced in a structure by a seismic action have a low probability of occurrence and their magnitude is such that the structure is forced beyond the ultimate limit state. The effective standards in Portugal, and the ones that will be effective shortly, consider the possibility of a seismic action in all the territory, fact that has been ...

On the Seismic Behavior of Masonry Infilled Frame Structures
Infilled frames are usually modelled in the context of global building analysis using simplified procedures without considering the aspects resulting from the interaction between the panel and the frame. Other aspects, such as adequate design of the floor beams and the beam-columns’ joints, and control of potential sliding shear failure of the columns,

The stiffness of masonry infill walls is commonly neglected in design practice of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. In fact, the stiffness of masonry infill wall may significantly influence seismic performance and dynamic behavior of RC buildings. In
