New Zealand contributions to the global earthquake model’s earthquake consequences database (GEMECD) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Global Earthquake Model’s (GEM) Earthquake Consequences Database (GEMECD) aims to develop, for the first time, a standardised framework for collecting and collating geocoded consequence data induced by primary and secondary seismic hazards to ...

In-plane and out-of plane experimental characterization of rc masonry infilled frames [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Seismic investigations of typical south European masonry infilled frames were performed by testing two reduced scale specimens: one in the in-plane direction and another in the out-ofplane direction.

Free and Forced Vibration Analysis of an Infilled Steel Frame: Experimental, Numerical, and Analytical Methods

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2014
Structural frames with masonry infill panels make up a significant portion of the buildings constructed in earthquake-prone areas prior to the developing of the seismic design standards.

A brief overview on the retrofitting possibilities of masonry infill walls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This work presents a brief review on the seismic behavior on non-loadbearing masonry walls used as masonry infills. O Some examples of inefficient performance are shown based on information available of recent earthquakes.

Experimental evaluation of the diagonal tension test of hollow clay blocks strengthening with (AR) glass fibers

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
In many developing countries, masonry infill walls are commonly constructed using hollow clay blocks. Buildings incorporating these infill walls are particularly vulnerable to seismic loads due to the absence of adequate lateral load-resisting elements ...

An overview on the seismic behaviour of timber frame structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Traditional timber frame walls are an important structural element of many buildings and are usually composed of vertical posts and horizontal beams with bracing diagonal elements.

A non-linear masonry infill macro-model to represent the global behaviour of buildings under cyclic loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The presence of masonry infill walls in RC buildings is very common. However, even nowadays, in the design of new buildings and in the assessment of existing ones, the infills are usually considered as non-structural elements and their influence in the ...
