Seismic analysis of reinforced concrete buildings with participating masonry infills
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2021 In this paper, seismic analyses are performed of a reinforced concrete frame building with participating masonry walls are carried out. The spectral method of the Brazilian code – ABNT 15421:2006 – was used to obtain the lateral seismic loads.

Experimental assessment and retrofit of full-scale models of existing RC frames [PDF]
, 2002 PSD tests on two full-scale models of existing non-seismic resisting RC frame structures are described. The testing program covered several aspects, namely assessment of seismic performance of existing frames without and with infill panels ...

Simple and complex modelling of timber-framed masonry walls in Pombalino buildings [PDF]
, 2014 Timber-framed masonry has been developed as an effective lateral-load resisting system in regions of high seismicity such as Southern Europe. A salient feature of the ‘last generation’ of timber-framed (TF) buildings is the presence of diagonal members ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Geometric Limits for the Seismic Design of Unreinforced Masonry Fence Walls
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 130-149, January 2026.ABSTRACT Current seismic design standards require masonry free‐standing walls to comply with regulations for masonry structural walls. Applying these current seismic design standards to fence walls (free‐standing walls) may be inappropriate due to the different restraint conditions between fence walls and structural walls.

On the Seismic Resilience of Interwar Buildings
Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2022 This paper deals with multi-story buildings erected mostly in interwar period in seismic areas and designed for gravitational actions only. The typical structural system is reinforced concrete frames and masonry infills.

The impact of the configuration of masonry infills on the seismic responce of concrete frame [PDF]
, 2013 The impact of the configuration of masonry infills on the seismic response of infilled reinforced concrete frames is demonstrated by means of an example of an eight- storey building located near Ljubljana.

Physical structural assessment of a segmented concrete shell building floor prototype
Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 8419-8436, December 2025.Abstract To reduce the significant environmental impact of the construction industry, building floors designed as concrete shells that work mainly in compression and that are segmented for prefabrication and disassembly offer a promising alternative to reinforced thick flat slabs.
