The masonry infill walls' seismic behaviour is being characterized by extensive damages
and out-of-plane (OOP) collapses due to combined in-plane and OOP loading demands …

The primary objective of this manuscript is to present a systematic review of experimental
studies regarding infill masonry walls out-of-plane (OOP) behaviour. An extended database …

Infill masonry (IM) walls are considered to be non-structural elements but, when subjected to
earthquakes, they tend to interact with the surrounding RC (reinforced concrete) frames …

Recent earthquakes have demonstrated a significant contribution of the masonry infill walls
in the structural response of the reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. Field observations after …

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 …

The primary objective of this work is to present a experimental analysis of textile-reinforced
mortar based strengthening solutions to prevent the out-of-plane (OOP) collapse of masonry …

The aim of this research is to contribute to increase the understanding regarding the infill
panels' OOP behavior and evaluate the influence of different variables in the …

The assessment of seismic vulnerability and strengthening of existing buildings is a topic of
relevant importance and priority, as evidenced in recent earthquakes around the world …

This work's primary objective is to present an experimental campaign, comprised of three full-
scale in-plane tests. It was assessed the effect of the openings (central window) and of using …

Fragility functions are fundamental for the assessment of seismic safety of structures or the
loss assessment of a portfolio of assets. The present paper describes a procedure to derive …
