Masonry infill walls under blast loading using confined underwater blast wave generators (WBWG) [PDF]
, 2014 The vulnerability of the masonry envelop under blast loading is considered critical due to the risk of loss of lives. The dynamic behaviour of masonry infill walls subjected to dynamic out-of-plane loading was experimentally investigated in this work ...

A brief overview on the retrofitting possibilities of masonry infill walls [PDF]
, 2011 This work presents a brief review on the seismic behavior on non-loadbearing masonry walls used as masonry infills. O Some examples of inefficient performance are shown based on information available of recent earthquakes.

Damage reduction system for masonry infill walls under seismic loading
, 2018 Severe damages of masonry infill walls in reinforced concrete and steel frames have been observed after many earthquakes. Typically, masonry infill walls are loaded not just in-plane and out-of-plane but also simultaneously in both directions. While the damage due to the in-plane loading is caused by the increase of interstory drift, out-of-plane ...

In-Plane Cyclic Response of Separated Masonry Infill Walls Using Polymeric Materials at the Surrounding Steel Frames Interface Using 3D FE Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2023 Masonry infill walls are commonly used as partitions and exterior walls in many countries. Generally, the masonry wall is executed without any gap from the frame, which leads to the interaction between the structural frame and the infill wall ...

Development of Fragility Curves for Brick Infill Walls in Steel Frame Structures [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2022 Brick infill walls are one of the most common types of nonstructural elements used for exterior enclosures as well as interior partitions in steel frame buildings. The recent earthquakes have shown that damage to masonry infill walls may cause danger for

Soft Story Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures with Masonry Infill Walls [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2023 Based on the seismic design codes to prevent soft-story failure, columns of a soft story must be designed for amplified loads due to the discontinuity of braces or shear walls in that story.

Seismic behavior of reinforced concrete buildings using chained masonry walls randomly located
Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2022 The widespread use of masonry infill walls in the most prone zones to earthquakes, for the execution of multistoried reinforced concrete buildings, as well as the recorded damage caused by earthquakes, have forced us to study their influence on the ...
