Modal identification of infill masonry walls with different characteristics

Engineering Structures, 2017
A significant number of structural damages observed in reinforced concrete (RC) structures that occurred in regions affected by earthquakes are due to the presence of the infill masonry walls (IMW). Survey of the structural damages caused by earthquakes reported that the infills panels had an important contribution in the seismic response of the ...

Recent Results on Masonry Infill Walls

Advanced Materials Research, 2010
The paper summarizes the main research findings on masonry infill walls which were obtained within the framework of a comprehensive NSF-NEESR-SG project directed by Prof. Benson Shing at UC San Diego (Shing et al. 2009). The main focus of this contribution are experimental and computational observations on 2/3 scale unreinforced masonry panels ...

Strengthening of Infill Masonry Walls with FRP Materials

Journal of Composites for Construction, 2011
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of different externally bonded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) systems for increasing the out-of-plane resistance of infill masonry walls to loading. The research included a comprehensive experimental program comprising 14 full-scale specimens, including four unstrengthened (control) specimens and 10 ...
