Seismic Performance of a Three-Story Reinforced Concrete Building with Masonry Infill Walls and Friction Base Support

open access: yesCivil Engineering Dimension, 2021
The stiffness of masonry infill walls is commonly neglected in design practice of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. In fact, the stiffness of masonry infill wall may significantly influence seismic performance and dynamic behavior of RC buildings. In

Out-of-plane dynamic response of a tuff masonry wall. Shaking table testing and numerical simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The out-of-plane dynamic response of a masonry element is investigated, both experimentally and numerically. The results of shaking table tests on a tuff masonry wall, subjected to harmonic acceleration histories, are presented.

Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of Recycled Concrete Hollow Block Masonry Walls

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
This paper aims to manufacture recycled concrete hollow block (RCHB) which can be used for the masonry structure with seismic requirements. Five RCHB masonry walls were tested under cyclic loading to evaluate the effect of the axial compression stress ...

Masonry components [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Masonry is a non-homogeneous material, composed of units and mortar, which can be of different types, with distinct mechanical properties. The design of both masonry units and mortar is based on the role of the walls in the building.

Numerical Study on Seismic Behavior of Moment-Resistant Steel Frames with Hybrid Masonry Infill [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2020
Hybrid masonry system is a new structural system, in which the masonry panels link to the frame with steel plate connections. Hybrid masonry uses masonry infill for lateral stiffness and strength within frames in addition to supporting out-of-plane ...
