Seismic assessment of rc structures with infill masonry panels in Nepal: sensitivity analysis [PDF]
, 2014 Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Nepal are constructed as RC frames with masonry infill panels. These structures exhibit a highly non-linear inelastic behaviour resulting from the interaction between the masonry infill panels and the surrounding ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Would RC wide-beam buildings in Spain have survived Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011)? [PDF]
, 2016 Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011) is most destructive event recorded in Spain, causing nine fatalities and other severe consequences. Its important intensity was rather unexpected, and serious concern arose regarding risk of building stock in Spain.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Influence of Infill Wall Configuration on Failure Modes of RC Frames
Shock and Vibration, 2018 An improper configuration of masonry infill walls in RC frame may lead to short column effect on the columns, which is harmful to the seismic behavior of the structure.

Experimental assessment of an innovative strengthening material for brick masonry infills [PDF]
, 2015 The vulnerability of masonry infill walls has been highlighted in recent earthquakes in which severe inplane damage and out-of-plane collapse developed, justifying the investment in the proposal of strengthening solutions aiming to improve the seismic ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Earthquakes have caused, and will continue to cause, damage to the built environment, resulting in casualties, economic losses, and long‐term societal impacts. One approach to decreasing future losses is limiting the damage that buildings experience during an earthquake and speeding up their recovery by following the “build back better” principle.

Experimental assessment and retrofit of full-scale models of existing RC frames [PDF]
, 2002 PSD tests on two full-scale models of existing non-seismic resisting RC frame structures are described. The testing program covered several aspects, namely assessment of seismic performance of existing frames without and with infill panels ...
