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.

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 ...

Database and Geometrical Characterization of 3D Stone Masonry Wall Microstructures
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.This paper presents the first database of 3D microstructures of stone masonry walls, where masonry microstructure is defined as the shape, size, and layout of the stone units within the wall. The database includes 36 walls representing various masonry typologies as defined by the Italian code, with different leaf configurations (one‐, two‐, and three ...

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.

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 ...

Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel
