Assessment of seismic performance of low-rise reinforced concrete frame structures with masonry infill using fragility curves [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame structures with masonry infill is a critical area of study due to the complex interactions between the infill and the structural frame during seismic events.

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.

Experimental assessment of an innovative strengthening material for brick masonry infills [PDF]

, 2015
The vulnerability of masonry infill walls has been highlighted in recent earthquakes in which severe inplane damage and out-of-plane collapse developed, justifying the investment in the proposal of strengthening solutions aiming to improve the seismic ...

Development of an Inventory Modelling Framework for Seismic Risk Assessment of Residential Buildings in Eastern Canada

Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 354-367, September 2025.
A new inventory framework for Montreal predicts the structural systems of residential buildings and estimates the number of associated units using open‐access databases and the city's construction trends. The framework supports regional‐scale seismic risk assessments through improved classification and data integration. ABSTRACT Seismic risk assessment

Seismic analyses of a R/C building: study of a retrofitting solution [PDF]

, 2000
The preliminary experimental results from the tests on a 4-storey R/C frame structure are presented and discussed. The full-scale model is representative of the common practice of 40~50 years ago in most south European countries.

Practical assessment of masonry tunnel joint segmentation using topological machine learning

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 93-110, June 2025.
Abstract Condition assessment of masonry lined tunnels is time consuming and labor intensive. Recently developed digital workflows enable structural models to be created automatically, reducing analysis time. As part of these procedures, it is important to be able to identify the location of each masonry block.

Challenges in High‐Fidelity Implicit Block‐Based Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Out‐of‐Plane Two‐Way Bending in Unreinforced Brick Masonry Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 7, Page 1836-1858, June 2025.
ABSTRACT This study deals with the high‐fidelity block‐based finite element simulation of dynamic out‐of‐plane (OOP) responses of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls, explicitly focusing on two‐way bending behaviors under seismic loads, which is a common critical failure mode in real‐world masonry structures.

Evaluation of Seismic Acceleration Amplification Factors for Building Nonstructural Components Based on Coupled Analysis of Structure‐Nonstructural 2‐DOF System

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 7, Page 1934-1951, June 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, seismic demand on nonstructural components (NSCs) was analyzed using a combined structural‐nonstructural 2‐degree‐of‐freedom (2‐DOF) model. This model was specifically employed to incorporate coupling effects, which arise from the dynamic interaction between supporting structures and NSCs. The effect of structure‐NSC coupling on
