Fuzzy Fragility Analysis of Structures with Masonry Infill Walls [PDF]

The Open Construction and Building Technology Journal, 2012
In this work fragility analysis of reinforced concrete and steel structures withinfill walls is performed.For this purpose a fuzzy-based fragility assessment framework for evaluating 3D framed structures is proposed taking into account various sources of uncertainty.

The Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains: a new seismic source in the low seismicity northern region of New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 609-627, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we provide the first field‐based assessment of the seismic potential of the Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains, Waikato region. Initially considered to be part of the nearby Kerepehi Fault, our new mapping and field data suggest the Te Puninga Fault is independent.

Influence of Infill Wall Configuration on Failure Modes of RC Frames

Shock and Vibration, 2018
An improper configuration of masonry infill walls in RC frame may lead to short column effect on the columns, which is harmful to the seismic behavior of the structure.

Investigation Of Effect Of Infill Walls With Brick In Buildings [PDF]

, 2013
Infill walls are widely used as partitions worldwide. Field evidence has shown that continuous infill walls can help reduce the vulnerability of a reinforced concrete structure.

The Bronze Age Tombs of Northwest Arabia: A Chrono‐Typological Study From AlUla and Khaybar, Saudi Arabia

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 52-69, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Northwest Arabia is marked by tens of thousands of monumental burial structures, most of which appear to have been built during the Bronze Age. These funerary features range from simple cairns and tower tombs through to large ‘pendant’ burials with elaborate tail constructions.

Seismic Capacity and Performance of Waffle‐Flat Plate Structures Under Near‐Fault Ground Motions: Bidirectional Shake Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 12, Page 3069-3089, 10 October 2025.
ABSTRACT A reinforced concrete waffle‐flat plate structure was subjected to a sequence of bidirectional near‐fault ground motions on a shake table until collapse. The test specimen was designed under current building codes and assigned a region of moderate seismicity.

Development of an Inventory Modelling Framework for Seismic Risk Assessment of Residential Buildings in Eastern Canada

Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 354-367, September 2025.
A new inventory framework for Montreal predicts the structural systems of residential buildings and estimates the number of associated units using open‐access databases and the city's construction trends. The framework supports regional‐scale seismic risk assessments through improved classification and data integration. ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment

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.

Practical assessment of masonry tunnel joint segmentation using topological machine learning

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 93-110, June 2025.
Abstract Condition assessment of masonry lined tunnels is time consuming and labor intensive. Recently developed digital workflows enable structural models to be created automatically, reducing analysis time. As part of these procedures, it is important to be able to identify the location of each masonry block.

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 ...
