Reinforced concrete frames with unreinforced masonry infill walls represent a widely
adopted building system. During seismic events, infill walls, usually considered as non …

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

Non-structural elements represent most of the total construction cost of typical buildings. A
significant portion of the total losses in recent earthquakes worldwide, has been attributed to …

A new macroelement model is presented in this paper for the simulation of the in-plane (IP)
and out-of-plane (OOP) response of infilled frames subjected to seismic actions. The model …

The damage to non structural masonry infills in RC frame structures induced by earthquake
ground motions represents a considerable source of economic losses and a serious threat …

It is widely recognised that the presence of infills modifies the global structural response of
frame buildings subjected to seismic loads. Despite the substantial research carried out in …

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the nonlinear modelling techniques available
today for describing the structural behaviour of masonry infills and their interaction with …

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 …

Although in literature many studies show that infills modify the behaviour of framed
structures under lateral loads, the contribution of panels is generally neglected in common …

Framed structures are usually infilled with masonry walls. They may cause a significant
increase in both stiffness and strength, reducing the deformation demand and increasing the …
