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 ...

Masonry infill performance during the Northridge earthquake [PDF]
, 1996 The response of masonry infills during the 1994 Northridge, California earthquake is described in terms of three categories: (1) lowrise and midrise structures experiencing large near field seismic excitations, (2) lowrise and midrise structures experiencing moderate far field excitation, and (3) highrise structures experiencing moderate far field ...

Multiparametric modeling of infill shear walls with additionally made openings
Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 8716-8740, December 2025.Abstract The paper deals with the implementation of additional openings in reinforced concrete infill shear walls from the point of view of structural analysis. In the introductory part, the current state of knowledge in the methods of analysis of this issue is discussed, and their advantages or shortcomings are pointed out.

Robustness of Multistory Buildings with Masonry Infill [PDF]
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2015 AbstractThis paper investigates the influence of unreinforced masonry panels on the robustness of multistory buildings under sudden column loss scenarios. A recently developed multilevel framework is employed to evaluate the resistance to progressive collapse under such scenarios, which is applied in this paper at story level allowing for the ...

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 609-627, December 2025.ABSTRACT In this study, we provide the first field‐based assessment of the seismic potential of the Te Puninga Fault, Hauraki Plains, Waikato region. Initially considered to be part of the nearby Kerepehi Fault, our new mapping and field data suggest the Te Puninga Fault is independent.

The use of FRPs in seismic repair and retrofit: experimental verification [PDF]
, 2001 The application of FRPs in the seismic repair and retrofit of structures is addressed. The results from a few tests on full-scale structures, repaired and/or retrofitted with composites, performed at the ELSA laboratory are presented and ...

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 36, Issue 1, Page 52-69, November 2025.ABSTRACT Northwest Arabia is marked by tens of thousands of monumental burial structures, most of which appear to have been built during the Bronze Age. These funerary features range from simple cairns and tower tombs through to large ‘pendant’ burials with elaborate tail constructions.

A Damage Model for Masonry Infilled Frames [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2009 The effect of infill walls on the behaviour of frames is widely recognized, and, for several decades now, has been the subject of numerous experimental investigations. However, the analytical modeling of infilled panels and frames under in-plane loading is difficult and generally unreliable. From the point of view of the simulation technique the models

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 12, Page 3069-3089, 10 October 2025.ABSTRACT A reinforced concrete waffle‐flat plate structure was subjected to a sequence of bidirectional near‐fault ground motions on a shake table until collapse. The test specimen was designed under current building codes and assigned a region of moderate seismicity.
