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 …

Reinforced concrete frame structures with masonry infills often exhibit serious damage after
earthquake events, as the infills are generally installed without additional constructive …

Structural robustness is a significant property towards improving resilience of buildings, ie
enhance their ability to withstand and recover from extreme events which often can cause …

The paper presents the results of an experimental campaign on the behaviour of engineered
masonry infill walls subjected to both in-and out-of-plane loading. The aim of the research …

This study proposes an innovative prefabricated damping wall panels infill for semi-rigid
connected steel frame to release adverse infill-frame interaction. The comparative …

Semi-rigid connected steel frame is characterized by excellent displacement ductility and
energy dissipation capacity, while detrimental infill-frame interaction from the traditional infill …

The out‐of‐plane (OOP) behaviour of masonry infills (MIs), inserted in reinforced concrete
(rc)–framed buildings, is recognized as one of the most important failure modes of this …

In the aftermath of earthquakes poor seismic response was evidenced by non-structural
elements such as enclosure masonry infills (MIs), characterized by a combination of in-plane …

Past earthquakes have repeatedly shown that damage to masonry infills can produce large
economic losses and even jeopardize human lives. Nevertheless, in current design practice …

This paper presents the experimental study on the seismic performance of steel frame
structures equipped with novel sliding connection joints and wall panels reinforced by the …
