Experimental tests on strengthening strategies for masonry infill walls: A literature review
Construction and Building Materials, 2020 Abstract The masonry infill walls’ seismic behaviour is being characterized by extensive damages and out-of-plane (OOP) collapses due to combined in-plane and OOP loading demands. Several efforts are being made to develop efficient strengthening strategies to reduce their seismic vulnerability and in particular to prevent the panels’ collapse.

Application and Prospect of New Masonry Infilled Wall
Highlights in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2022 As a new wall material, autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) can realize the self-insulation system of "single material" wall in different climate regions in China. At the same time, it has obvious advantages in engineering construction, such as saving resources, easy processing, and good fire resistance.

Innovative systems for earthquake-resistant masonry infill walls: Characterization of materials and masonry assemblages [PDF]
Journal of Building Engineering, 2021 Abstract Masonry infill walls are the standard solution to build envelopes and partitions walls in reinforced concrete buildings in southern Europe. In Portugal, masonry infill walls appeared in the sixties, with the massive use of reinforced concrete frames for residential and commercial buildings.

Design Proposal for Masonry Infill Walls Subject to Seismic Actions [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2022 Several factors influence the behaviour of masonry infilled frames, which have been the subject of previous research with moderate success. The new generation of European design standards imposes the need to prevent the brittle collapse of infills and ...

Perspectives and Approaches for the Out-of-Plane Testing of Masonry Infill Walls
Experimental Techniques, 2020 It is widely accepted that further and more in-depth research is required on the out-of-plane seismic response of masonry infill walls to increase knowledge regarding this particular behaviour and to develop effective strengthening strategies for preventing their collapse.

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 ...
