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

open access: yesApplied 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

Challenges in High‐Fidelity Implicit Block‐Based Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Out‐of‐Plane Two‐Way Bending in Unreinforced Brick Masonry Walls

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 7, Page 1836-1858, June 2025.
ABSTRACT This study deals with the high‐fidelity block‐based finite element simulation of dynamic out‐of‐plane (OOP) responses of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls, explicitly focusing on two‐way bending behaviors under seismic loads, which is a common critical failure mode in real‐world masonry structures.

Horizontal stiffness of masonry walls infilled frame

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences
Walls 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.

Pre‐fabricated TRC Panels Versus TRM Jacketing for Integrating Seismic and Energy Retrofitting: Bi‐Directional Shaking Table Tests on Three Masonry‐Infilled RC Buildings

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1617-1641, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Two novel integrated seismic and energy retrofitting solutions for existing buildings are experimentally assessed in this study. Three 60%‐scaled, two‐storey infilled reinforced concrete buildings underwent a series of bi‐directional shaking table tests.

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

open access: yesSemesta 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.

A non-linear masonry infill macro-model to represent the global behaviour of buildings under cyclic loading [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The presence of masonry infill walls in RC buildings is very common. However, even nowadays, in the design of new buildings and in the assessment of existing ones, the infills are usually considered as non-structural elements and their influence in the ...

Traditional timber frame walls: mechanical behavior analysis and retrofitting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Timber frame construction is characteristic of several historic city centres as well as of vernacular architecture in several countries around the world, either motivated by the availability of materials and construction traditions or by the need of ...

Dissipative CLT‐Based Seismic Upgrading System for RC‐Framed Structures: Experimental Characterization, Numerical Modelling, and Design Guidelines

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1775-1796, May 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates a seismic retrofit technique named e‐CLT, which is part of the solution for integrated seismic and energy rehabilitation of buildings developed in the framework of the research project e‐SAFE funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.

Masonry infill walls under blast loading using confined underwater blast wave generators (WBWG) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The vulnerability of the masonry envelop under blast loading is considered critical due to the risk of loss of lives. The dynamic behaviour of masonry infill walls subjected to dynamic out-of-plane loading was experimentally investigated in this work ...

Damage assessment and seismic response of steel buildings during the Kahramanmaraş, Turkey earthquakes of February 6, 2023

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 1565-1588, May 2025.
On February 6, 2023, two earthquakes (Mw 7.8 and 7.5) occurred in Turkey. Notably, 10 provinces in Turkey and several others in Syria were subjected to severe ground shaking, resulting in a high number of casualties following the total and partial collapse of many reinforced concrete buildings.
