Out-of-plane Proof Testing of Masonry Infill Walls [PDF]
Structures, 2018 Proof testing of multiple fired-clay-brick unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls set within reinforced concrete frames was undertaken using airbags to simulate out-of-plane (OOP) loading. The proof testing was conducted to provide engineers in various research and practitioner roles with verified wall behaviour for the purpose of seismic assessment ...

NUMERICAL MODELLING OF MASONRY INFILL WALLS IN EXISTING STEEL FRAMES [PDF]
Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2021 It is now widely recognised that masonry infill plays an essential role in the seismic behaviour of existing steel buildings; however, there is still a lack of clear guidance on the modelling of masonry infill in the current Eurocode 8-Part 3. Several methods for the numerical modelling of masonry infills have been proposed in literature over the past ...

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.

Buildings, 2023 This paper examines how the decision to include (or exclude) masonry infill walls in the modelling of non-seismically designed RC framed structures can affect the results of the EC8-3 seismic assessment process.

SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF UNREINFORCED CONCRETE MASONRY INFILL WALLS
Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2021 The majority of new and existing building inventories in the Middle East consist of reinforced concrete skeletal structures with outer shells composed of unreinforced masonry infill walls. In the absence of any mandatory seismic design requirements, these buildings will sustain catastrophic damage when exposed to high seismic activity.

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2023 The steel frame infilled with the autoclaved lightweight aerated concrete (AAC) masonry wall is widely applied in buildings. However, earthquake damage investigation has revealed that infill walls have a significant influence on the mechanical behaviors ...

Effect of the Openings on the Seismic Response of an Infilled Reinforced Concrete Structure
Buildings, 2022 The seismic behavior of the infill masonry infill walls has a significant impact on the global response of reinforced concrete frame structures. One factor influencing its behavior is the existence of openings in the walls, such as doors and windows ...

Testing of Damaged Single-Bay Reinforced Concrete Frames Strengthened with Masonry Infill Walls
Buildings, 2023 Despite achieving consensus and having current knowledge on the behaviour and contribution of masonry infill walls, there remain unresolved issues regarding their nonlinear behaviour as a method for strengthening existing reinforced concrete (RC) frames ...

Seismic behaviour of traditional timber frame walls: experimental results on unreinforced walls [PDF]
, 2015 Timber frame buildings are well known as an efficient seismic resistant structure and they are used worldwide. Moreover, they have been specifically adopted in codes and regulations during the XVIII and XIX centuries in the Mediterranean area.
