Infill-frame interaction constitutes a still open question both in research and in practicing
engineering. Computational models used to predict this interaction are, in most cases …

The issue of the influence of masonry infills within RC frames structures has been widely
investigated in the last decades by several researchers. The large interest addressed to this …

Equivalent strut macromodels are largely used to model the influence of infill walls in frame
structures due to their simplicity and effectiveness from a computational point of view …

The present paper investigates the story-wise damage response and the seismic fragility of
planar multistory R/C buildings with various masonry infills' distributions. In order to fulfil this …

The objective of the study presented in this paper is to investigate the effects of masonry
infills on the shear demand and failure of columns for the case when reinforced concrete …

The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation assessing the influence of
the openings typology and position on the cyclic response of masonry‐infilled reinforced …

The fundamental period of vibration appears to be one of the most critical parameters for the
seismic design and assessment of structures. In the present paper, the results of a large …

Seismic performance-based design approach is currently implemented in modern building
codes. Design requirements and provisions ensure an adequate structural performance …

Structures belonging to the same type and built in the same period may share similar
geometrical and spatial characteristics. When these features also affect the seismic …

Masonry infill walls are unavoidable parts of any building to create a separation between
internal space and external environment. In general, there are some prevalent openings in …
