Masonry infill walls are critical components of reinforced concrete (RC) frames, which may
be damaged even under earthquake events of moderate intensity, thus resulting in …

Abstract Damping Layer Joint (DLJ) is the core element of Damped Infilled Wall (DIW), which
is used to improve the seismic performance of Infilled Masonry Wall (IMW). The aim of this …

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on the mechanical behaviour of
masonry triplets subjected to monotonic and cyclic shear loadings. Masonry triplets were …

Masonry infill walls are among the most vulnerable components of reinforced concrete (RC)
frame structures. Recently, some techniques for enhancing the performance of the infills …

The prediction of the structural capacity of masonry buildings against lateral loads requires
an accurate characterization of the masonry strength and the general response under shear …

This paper presents the outcomes of an extensive experimental campaign and of numerical
analyses aimed at characterising the cyclic shear behaviour of masonry triplets with mortar …

A numerous series of static-cyclic shear tests on masonry elements (triplets), wallettes and
full-scale unreinforced masonry (URM) walls with soft layer membrane placed in the bed …

An experimental investigation of a non-linear mechanical phenomenon occurring in a
masonry unit–mortar interface subjected to uniaxial monotonic and cyclic tensile tests is …

This study aims to investigate the bond shear strength of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC)
masonry, focusing on the influence of pre-compression and load rates. Experimental results …

Reinforced concrete infilled frames have been studied over the years along with the infilled
openings. To resist the lateral loads that are applied on the frames, stress is transferred from …
