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 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 Study on Lateral-Load-Resisting Capacity of Masonry-Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames
Applied Sciences, 2021 In this study, an experimental program was performed on masonry-infilled frame specimens with varied construction precision and masonry thickness. A total of five portal frame specimens, which consist of four masonry-infilled frames and a bare frame ...

Out-of-plane behavior of masonry infill walls [PDF]
, 2015 In order to investigate the out-of-plane behaviour of masonry infill walls, quasi-static testing was performed on a masonry infill walls built inside a reinforced concrete frame by means of an airbag system to apply the uniform out-of-plane load to each ...

Experimental and Analytical Study of Masonry Infill Reinforced Concrete Frames Retrofitted with Steel Braces [PDF]
, 2004 In the present work a seismic retrofitting technique is proposed for masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames based on the replacement of infill panels by K-bracing with vertical shear link.

Database and Geometrical Characterization of 3D Stone Masonry Wall Microstructures
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.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]
, 2000 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
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.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
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 130-149, January 2026.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.
