Experimental evaluation of the diagonal tension test of hollow clay blocks strengthening with (AR) glass fibers

Case Studies in Construction Materials
In many developing countries, masonry infill walls are commonly constructed using hollow clay blocks. Buildings incorporating these infill walls are particularly vulnerable to seismic loads due to the absence of adequate lateral load-resisting elements ...

Analytical Floor Response Spectra for Performance‐Based Seismic Design of Non‐structural Elements in Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1292-1312, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Damage to non‐structural elements significantly impacts the seismic performance of buildings in terms of economic and functionality losses. Consequently, performance‐based seismic design of non‐structural elements has become a key pillar of a comprehensive building‐seismic resilience strategy, for instance, through loss‐targeted earthquake ...

Impact of the Textile Mesh on the Efficiency of TRM Strengthening Solutions to Improve the Infill Walls Out-of-Plane Behaviour

Applied Sciences, 2020
Different retrofitting techniques have been developed and proposed to prevent the masonry infill walls (MIW) out-of-plane collapse. Many other authors confirmed that these types of elements are vulnerable when subjected to earthquake loadings, leading to

Development of Fragility Curves for Reinforced-Concrete Building with Masonry Infilled Wall under Tsunami

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2023
A tsunami is a natural disaster that destroys structures and kills many lives in many countries in the world. A risk assessment of the building under a tsunami loading is thus essential to evaluate the damage and minimize potential loss.

Experimental Dataset From Full‐Scale Near‐Collapse Tests on Two‐Storey, Two‐Bay Masonry‐Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames With Timber‐Based Reinforced Concrete‐Timber Panel Seismic Retrofit

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.
This study describes a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the quasi‐static cyclic lateral response of two full‐scale, two‐storey, two‐bay reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills representative of mid‐20th century European construction practice.

DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF VENTILATED MASONRY FAÇADES WITH INTEGRATED RETENTION SYSTEMS

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 145-150, April 2026.
Abstract An effective strategy to mitigate seismic risk and enable the use of ventilated façades in seismic regions, while taking advantage of their high energy efficiency, consists of implementing retention or containment systems that prevent the detachment and fall of façade components during a seismic event.

Respon Model Gedung Beton Bertulang dengan Penambahan Dinding Pengisi terhadap Beban Gempa

Semesta Teknika, 2018
Earthquake-resistant building structures designs usually are not considering the influence of non-structural walls. In fact, non-structural walls could give additional strength for building especially to help retaining seismic loads.

Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Strengthening of masonry infill wall panels in reinforced concrete structures using dual strengthening strategy of ferrocement and ECC overlays

Cogent Engineering
The strengthening of masonry infill wall panels (MIWPs) in reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures is of prime importance due to their failure in the in-plane and out-of-plane direction, as evidenced by past earthquakes.

Combined Vertical and Horizontal Components of Near‐Source Earthquakes and Impact on Base‐Isolated Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...
