Serviceability limit state related to excessive lateral deformations to account for infill walls in the structural model

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
Brazilian Codes NBR 6118 and NBR 15575 provide practical values for interstory drift limits applied to conventional modeling in order to prevent negative effects in masonry infill walls caused by excessive lateral deformability, however these codes do ...

Masonry infill walls in reinforced concrete frames as a source of structural damping

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2013
SUMMARYThis paper presents the results of an experimental study on the determination of damping characteristics of bare, masonry infilled, and carbon fiber reinforced polymer retrofitted infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames. It is well known that the masonry infills are used as partitioning walls having significant effect on the damping ...

The Effect of Masonry Infill Model Selection on the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures

open access: yesAGG+
In many countries, reinforced concrete (RC) frames are widely utilized as the primary building structure. The infill is typically composed of traditional masonry (brick elements connected with mortar), commonly without isolation from the frame.

Seismic performance of masonry-infilled RC frames [PDF]

open access: yesUrbanism. Arhitectura. Constructii, 2016
The masonry infill of RC frames structures is generally considered as non-structural. The design of the concrete frames is often made by ignoring the influence of the masonry infill, which is only accounted for its mass.

ASSESSMENT OF ROBUSTNESS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAME STRUCTURES WITH MASONRY INFILL WALLS

open access: yesProceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019
Robustness of frame structures is fundamental to limit progressive collapse of buildings in case of accidental loss of columns. The interest in robustness assessment is growing in recent years especially for reinforced concrete structures, which are commonly analyzed considering the bare frame configuration.

Seismic analyses of a R/C building: study of a retrofitting solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Damage evaluation of a multi-story brick masonry building with reinforced concrete framed ground floor under seismic loading: A case study

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
The masonry building with reinforced concrete (RC) framed lower floors, as a widely adopted hybrid structural system, has sustained significant damage during severe earthquakes.

A non-linear masonry infill macro-model to represent the global behaviour of buildings under cyclic loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The presence of masonry infill walls in RC buildings is very common. However, even nowadays, in the design of new buildings and in the assessment of existing ones, the infills are usually considered as non-structural elements and their influence in the ...

Masonry enclosure walls: lessons learnt from the recent Abruzzo Earthquake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper approaches the issue of performance requirements and construction criteria for masonry enclosure and infill walls. Vertical building enclosures in European countries include, very often, non-loadbearing masonry walls, using horizontally ...
