Simplified Macro-Model for Infill Masonry Panels

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2010
In structural analyses, masonry infill walls are commonly considered to be non structural elements. However, the response of reinforced concrete buildings to earthquake loads can be substantially affected by the influence of infill walls. In this article, an improved numerical model for the simulation of the behavior of masonry infill walls subjected ...

DRIFT-BASED FRAGILITY ASSESSMENT OF MASONRY INFILLS

Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2017
Masonry infills represent one of the prevailing types of non-structural elements in buildings of both Western and Eastern modern architecture. Recent seismic events have provided evidence that damage on masonry infills can lead not only to large economic losses but also to significant injuries and even fatalities.

Behaviour and analysis of masonry‐infilled frames

Progress in Structural Engineering and Materials, 2002
AbstractMasonry infills are frequently used as interior partitions and exterior walls in buildings. They are usually treated as non‐structural elements, and their interaction with the bounding frame is often ignored in design. The performance of such structures during an earthquake has attracted major attention. Even though frame–infill interaction has

In-Plane Analysis of Masonry Infill Materials

Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, 2001
Simple methods for determining the corner crushing strength and the in-plane stiffness of masonry infills are developed. The methods are applicable to structural clay tile, clay brick, and concrete masonry infills and to both steel and concrete bounding frames.

Behaviour of masonry infilled steel frames

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 1989
Masonry shear panels used as infilling in steel frames are investigated experimentally. Twenty-eight large-scale specimens were tested to ultimate panel strength under in-plane, horizontal loading applied at roof level. Of the parameters varied in the test series, interface conditions between panel edges and frame were found to significantly affect ...

Recent Results on Masonry Infill Walls

Advanced Materials Research, 2010
The paper summarizes the main research findings on masonry infill walls which were obtained within the framework of a comprehensive NSF-NEESR-SG project directed by Prof. Benson Shing at UC San Diego (Shing et al. 2009). The main focus of this contribution are experimental and computational observations on 2/3 scale unreinforced masonry panels ...
