Infilled frames are usually modelled in the context of global building analysis using
simplified procedures without considering the aspects resulting from the interaction between …

The detrimental infill‐frame interaction and vulnerable nature of the traditional solid infill
walls might change the seismic behavior of the infilled reinforced concrete frames. To …

Unpreventable constructional defects are the main issues in the case of steel Moment-
Resisting Frames (MRFs) that mostly occur in the rigidities of beam-to-column connections …

Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are susceptible to extraordinary actions such as
earthquakes compared to steel or reinforced concrete buildings. Various methods have …

This study investigates the seismic behavior of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) taking
into account the influence of masonry infill walls using a nonmodel scenario-based machine …

Seismic assessment of existing buildings is usually a building-specific task that relies on
refined finite element models. Such a task may require considerable computational demand …

Due to large mass participation, the first mode vibration period of structures is one of the
most governing parameters in seismic design and assessment. Although building codes …

Forming door and window openings in partition infill walls is a frequent activity in
engineering practices, while the complexity of the mechanical behavior of such infill systems …

In engineering practice, creating window openings in partition infill walls is a common
requirement for infilled frames. However, the intervention of infill walls may interrupt the …

Seismic rapid visual screening (RVS) methods are used when a large stock of structures is
to be evaluated for seismic risk. Although several RVS methods are available, applications …
