Seismic performance of masonry-infilled RC frames [PDF]
Urbanism. Arhitectura. Constructii, 2016 The masonry infill of RC frames structures is generally considered as non-structural. The design of the concrete frames is often made by ignoring the influence of the masonry infill, which is only accounted for its mass.

A brief overview on the retrofitting possibilities of masonry infill walls [PDF]
, 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.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.This study describes a dataset from an experimental campaign investigating the quasi‐static cyclic lateral response of two full‐scale, two‐storey, two‐bay reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infills representative of mid‐20th century European construction practice.

Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]
, 2005 It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.

POJEDNOSTAVLJENI PRISTUPI MODELIRANJU OKVIRA S ISPUNOM [PDF]
, 2014 In many seismic areas, reinforced-concrete frames are filled with masonry infill walls. The behavior of these structural composite systems are difficult to model, and existing regulations lack guidelines for their design.

Fragility functions for masonry infill walls with in‐plane loading [PDF]
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2017 SummaryRecent seismic events have provided evidence that damage to masonry infills can lead not only to large economic losses but also to significant injuries and even fatalities. The estimation of damage of such elements and the corresponding consequences within the performance‐based earthquake engineering framework requires the construction of ...

DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF VENTILATED MASONRY FAÇADES WITH INTEGRATED RETENTION SYSTEMS
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 145-150, April 2026.Abstract An effective strategy to mitigate seismic risk and enable the use of ventilated façades in seismic regions, while taking advantage of their high energy efficiency, consists of implementing retention or containment systems that prevent the detachment and fall of façade components during a seismic event.

On the Out-of-Plane Strength of Masonry Infills Encased in RC Frames
Applied SciencesWith reference to the widespread out-of-plane (OOP) failures of infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings during the 6 February 2023 earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, this paper investigates the OOP strength of unreinforced masonry (URM ...

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 ...
