Masonry infill performance during the Northridge earthquake [PDF]
The response of masonry infills during the 1994 Northridge, California earthquake is described in terms of three categories: (1) lowrise and midrise structures experiencing large near field seismic excitations, (2) lowrise and midrise structures experiencing moderate far field excitation, and (3) highrise structures experiencing moderate far field ...

Database and Geometrical Characterization of 3D Stone Masonry Wall Microstructures
This paper presents the first database of 3D microstructures of stone masonry walls, where masonry microstructure is defined as the shape, size, and layout of the stone units within the wall. The database includes 36 walls representing various masonry typologies as defined by the Italian code, with different leaf configurations (one‐, two‐, and three ...

Seismic analyses of a R/C building: study of a retrofitting solution [PDF]
The preliminary experimental results from the tests on a 4-storey R/C frame structure are presented and discussed. The full-scale model is representative of the common practice of 40~50 years ago in most south European countries.

Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors
Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel

Geometric Limits for the Seismic Design of Unreinforced Masonry Fence Walls
ABSTRACT Current seismic design standards require masonry free‐standing walls to comply with regulations for masonry structural walls. Applying these current seismic design standards to fence walls (free‐standing walls) may be inappropriate due to the different restraint conditions between fence walls and structural walls.
