The effect of masonry infill walls on the reinforced concrete frames behavior under lateral load [PDF]

, 2020
The reinforced concrete structures with masonry infill walls are widely used to construct buildings in Algeria, as in many parts of the world. According to earthquake analysis, this type of construction can undergo serious damage under seismic load.

Eurocode-based seismic assessment of modern heritage RC structures:The case of the Tower of the Nations in Naples (Italy) [PDF]

, 2014
Given the interest earned recently by modern heritage structures, seismic assessment criteria of Eurocode 8 for ordinary reinforced concrete structures are applied to a modern heritage RC building. This case study, the Tower of the Nations in Naples, was

Seismic Rehabilitation of Substandard R.C. Buildings with Masonry Infills [PDF]

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2018
Seismic deformation demands are localized in areas of stiffness discontinuity, such as in soft-storeys of frame structures, where disproportionate damage is often reported in post-earthquake reconnaissance. In many parts of the world this damage pattern is mitigated using strengthening schemes that include addition of stiffness in the structure so as ...

Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Would RC wide-beam buildings in Spain have survived Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011)? [PDF]

, 2016
Lorca earthquake (11-05-2011) is most destructive event recorded in Spain, causing nine fatalities and other severe consequences. Its important intensity was rather unexpected, and serious concern arose regarding risk of building stock in Spain.

Combined Vertical and Horizontal Components of Near‐Source Earthquakes and Impact on Base‐Isolated Structures

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 ...

Building Back Better Following the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake Sequence: Repair and Retrofit of Damaged Residential Reinforced Concrete High‐Rise Buildings

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Earthquakes have caused, and will continue to cause, damage to the built environment, resulting in casualties, economic losses, and long‐term societal impacts. One approach to decreasing future losses is limiting the damage that buildings experience during an earthquake and speeding up their recovery by following the “build back better” principle.

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.

Experimental Study on Seismic Behaviour of RC Frames with Different Infilled Masonry [PDF]

, 2019
Six 1/2 scaled, single-storey, one-bay frame specimens were tested in this study to investigate the seismic behavior of masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frames subjected to lateral loading. The variables investigated include types of masonry and
