Enhancing Structural Resilience: Numerical Modeling of Steel Frames Filled with Concrete Block Masonry Under Cyclic Loads

open access: yesBuildings
This article presents numerical models for unbraced steel frames filled with structural masonry under cyclic loads, offering insights into their behavior and design potential. Using simplified micro-modeling in ABAQUS with the Concrete Damage Plasticity (

Infill masonry : seismic behavior of reinforced solutions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The analysis of buildings constructed in the last 20 years, designed following modern standards, may lead to worrying conclusions. Images of out-of-plane expulsions and in-plane failures of infill walls in recent seismic activities around the world ...

Effects of Structural Integrity on Improving the Resistance to Dynamic Loads

open access: yesCommunications, 2007
The paper deals with the approaches to the dynamic response analysis when non-linear response of the structure including its partial damage is expected. This concerns the building and other structures executed near transport lines and possibly subjected ...

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

open access: yesCase 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.

Numerical modelling of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames : model calibration and parametric study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Generally two methods are proposed for analyzing the infilled frames; Micro modelling approach which finite element method is used to take into account local effects in detail and Macro modelling approach which is a very simplified method that takes into
