COMPARISON OF NON-LINEAR MASONRY INFILL MACRO-MODELS
Reinforced-concrete frames with masonry infill are composite systems, common in low and medium-high buildings, whose behavior under earthquake loads is difficult to predict. Because of that, most national codes ignore the contribution of infill to the structural response.

Human Comfort Assessment of Buildings Considering the Effect of the Masonry Infills and the Soil-Structure Interaction [PDF]
The increase in slenderness of building projects has been crucial for reducing the natural frequency values, causing excessive vibration problems. Two other important aspects, generally disregarded in the current design practice are related to the ...

Earthquake Retrofitting of “Soft-Story” RC Frame Structures with RC Infills
Multi-story, old reinforced concrete (RC) structures with a “soft-story” on the ground floor, sustain considerable damage to the soft story during earthquakes due to the presence of masonry infills in the upper stories.
