Influence of openings, with and without confinement, on cyclic response of infilled R-C frames: an experimental study [PDF]
, 2013 This article presents the experimental results of a study on reinforced-concrete frames infilled with masonry with openings. The frames were designed according to current European codes. They were built in a scale 1:2.5 and infilled with masonry walls.

Physical structural assessment of a segmented concrete shell building floor prototype
Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 8419-8436, December 2025.Abstract To reduce the significant environmental impact of the construction industry, building floors designed as concrete shells that work mainly in compression and that are segmented for prefabrication and disassembly offer a promising alternative to reinforced thick flat slabs.

Multiparametric modeling of infill shear walls with additionally made openings
Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 8716-8740, December 2025.Abstract The paper deals with the implementation of additional openings in reinforced concrete infill shear walls from the point of view of structural analysis. In the introductory part, the current state of knowledge in the methods of analysis of this issue is discussed, and their advantages or shortcomings are pointed out.

Evaluation of infill strut properties based on in-plane cyclic tests
Građevinar, 2013 In the nonlinear analysis of masonry infilled RC frame structures, simple strut models are often adopted to represent the masonry infill, particularly in the case of extensive parametric numerical studies.

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

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 609-627, December 2025.ABSTRACT In this study, we provide the first field‐based assessment of the seismic potential of the Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains, Waikato region. Initially considered to be part of the nearby Kerepehi Fault, our new mapping and field data suggest the Te Puninga Fault is independent.

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 ...

Masonry infills and earthquakes
, 2009 Masonry infills are building elements with high cost that often suffer cracking due to movement of the supports and thermohygral behaviour, with serious consequences in comfort and efficiency, particularly in the case of enclosure walls. The new seismic code in Europe (Eurocode 8) clearly defines the structural designer as responsible for the safety of
