Out-of-plane behavior of masonry infill walls

, 2015
In order to investigate the out-of-plane behaviour of masonry infill walls, quasi-static testing was performed on a masonry infill walls built inside a reinforced concrete frame by means of an airbag system to apply the uniform out-of-plane load to each component of the infill.

Non-linear analysis of masonry infilled steel frame under in-plane loading using Multi Pier method

Case Studies in Construction Materials
In the event of an earthquake, the in-plane stiffness, strength, and energy absorption capacity of the lateral load-bearing system could be affected by the presence of masonry infill walls.

Tie system to upgrade out‐of‐plane performance of infill masonry walls

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics
AbstractThe objectives of this study were to investigate the out‐of‐plane behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls and to identify the effectiveness of tie systems that were proposed to enhance the infill stability under both in‐ and out‐of‐plane effects. This study examined three types of tie systems: a full‐length tie system (prototype), a

Retrofitting masonry infill walls with textile reinforced mortar

, 2012
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. In this context, the present paper reports the development of a new reinforcing material for masonry walls based on braided fibrous structures.

A brief overview on the retrofitting possibilities of masonry infill walls

, 2011
This work presents a brief review on the seismic behavior on non-loadbearing masonry walls used as masonry infills. O Some examples of inefficient performance are shown based on information available of recent earthquakes. Additionally, a literature overview on the techniques for retrofitting existing masonry infills is provided.
