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

Out-of-Plane Response of Infill Masonry Walls [PDF]
The in-plane effect of infill walls on the structural response of reinforced concrete frames has been widely acknowledged via numerous experimental and numerical investigations and, as a result, the need to consider their effect on structural response has been acknowledged (indicated) in the latest generation of structural design codes worldwide.

Research on the Seismic Performance of Straw Panel-Infilled Concrete Frame by Shaking Table Test
Infill wall-frame interaction-induced damage and failure have been found in many previous earthquakes due to the inappropriate estimation of the stiffness of infill walls.

Redundancy In Steel Frames With Masonry Infill Walls
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 ...

Untersuchungen an mit Mauerwerk ausgefachten Stahlbetonrahmen und neue Lösungsvorschläge [PDF]
The vulnerability of unreinforced masonry walls (URM) under seismic events, causing huge loss of money and human lives, has revealed the enormous need for an efficient strengthening material.

SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF UNREINFORCED CONCRETE MASONRY INFILL WALLS
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.
