Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Earthquakes have caused, and will continue to cause, damage to the built environment, resulting in casualties, economic losses, and long‐term societal impacts. One approach to decreasing future losses is limiting the damage that buildings experience during an earthquake and speeding up their recovery by following the “build back better” principle.

Horizontal stiffness of masonry walls infilled frame
MATEC Web of ConferencesWalls used to fill a frame structure may serve non-load bearing (visual, acoustic or fire separation) or load bearing and stiffening functions which provide geometrical stability of a structure. They are shear walls without any vertical load from higher floors.

Effect of Brick Types on Compressive Strength of Masonry Prisms
International Journal of Technology, 2016 This study investigates brick types and masonry prisms under compressive loading according to ASTM C1314–14 as the basic parameters for evaluating lateral resistance of masonry infill walls and to compare compressive strength amongst various brick ...

Seismic performance of masonry-infilled RC frames [PDF]
Urbanism. Arhitectura. Constructii, 2016 The masonry infill of RC frames structures is generally considered as non-structural. The design of the concrete frames is often made by ignoring the influence of the masonry infill, which is only accounted for its mass.

AGG+In many countries, reinforced concrete (RC) frames are widely utilized as the primary building structure. The infill is typically composed of traditional masonry (brick elements connected with mortar), commonly without isolation from the frame.

ASSESSMENT OF ROBUSTNESS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAME STRUCTURES WITH MASONRY INFILL WALLS
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019 Robustness of frame structures is fundamental to limit progressive collapse of buildings in case of accidental loss of columns. The interest in robustness assessment is growing in recent years especially for reinforced concrete structures, which are commonly analyzed considering the bare frame configuration.

Masonry infill walls in reinforced concrete frames as a source of structural damping
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2013 SUMMARYThis paper presents the results of an experimental study on the determination of damping characteristics of bare, masonry infilled, and carbon fiber reinforced polymer retrofitted infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames. It is well known that the masonry infills are used as partitioning walls having significant effect on the damping ...
