Effect of Lintel Beam on Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Buildings with Semi-Interlocked and Unreinforced Brick Masonry Infills

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2021
The primary focus of this study is to evaluate the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete (RC) frames with two types of brick infills viz., unreinforced brick masonry infill (URM) and semi-interlocked brick masonry infill (SIM) together with lintel ...

Shake Table Response of Unreinforced Masonry and Reinforced Concrete Elements of Special Moment Resisting Frame

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2019
Half-scaled reinforced concrete frame of two storeys and two bays with unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls was subjected to base excitation on a shake table for seismic performance evaluation.

Influence of Different Types of Infill Walls on the Hysteretic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Frames

open access: yesBuildings, 2021
To study the influence of masonry infill walls on the hysteretic performance of reinforced concrete frames, a cyclic experiment was conducted for three two-story and two-span reinforced concrete frame structures, including one reinforced concrete frame ...

Damage-imperfection indicators for the assessment of multi-leaf masonry walls under different conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The complexity of multi-leaf masonry walls suggests further researches on the dy- namic behaviour mainly characterized by incoherent response between the different layers.

Would RC wide-beam buildings in Spain have survived Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011)? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011) is most destructive event recorded in Spain, causing nine fatalities and other severe consequences. Its important intensity was rather unexpected, and serious concern arose regarding risk of building stock in Spain.

Redundancy In Steel Frames With Masonry Infill Walls

open access: yes, 2009
Structural redundancy is an interesting point in seismic design of structures. Initially, the structural redundancy is described as indeterminate degree of a system. Although many definitions are presented for redundancy in structures, recently the definition of structural redundancy has been related to the configuration of structural system and the ...

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.

Assessment of the Out-of-Plane Resistance of Masonry Infill Walls [PDF]

open access: yesCivil-Comp Proceedings, 2015
Observation of damage after earthquakes has highlighted that out-of-plane failures of masonry infill walls may often occur even in the case of low or moderate earthquakes, causing both casualty risks for people and unfavourable situations affecting the overall structural response. In recent years, several experimental tests have been carried out trying
