When a seismic load is applied horizontally or laterally on unreinforced masonry walls
(URM), the walls behave in two different ways, viz., in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OoP) …

Unreinforced masonry (URM) is a construction of brick or concrete block unit that is joined
together using mortar, without steel reinforcement. Because of the heterogeneous nature …

The paper presents a new empirical expression estimating the out-of-plane (OOP)
resistance of infilled reinforced concrete frames subject to horizontal forces. The new model …

This paper presents the seismic performance evaluation of self-centering precast post-
tensioned concrete (SCPPTC) frames with infill walls. The SCPPTC connection system …

This paper presents a series of shaking table tests conducted on a 60%‐scaled two‐storey
infilled reinforced concrete building. The main parameters include the presence of openings …

This study aims to develop machine learning-based prediction models for the out-of-plane
displacement of infill walls under earthquake excitation by using machine learning methods …

Masonry-infilled frames (MIFs) are a common construction form in many parts of the world.
The presence of mortared masonry makes structural frames relatively stiff resulting in limited …

Openings such as windows or channels for ventilation and heating systems are commonly
encountered in masonry buildings to meet with functional needs. Although these openings …

This study aimed at understanding the role of vertical RC ties in the seismic performance
improvement of confined masonry walls under combined in-plane, out-of-plane, and vertical …

Equivalent strut macro-models are largely employed in research and practice, to reproduce
the effect of infill walls in frame structures. These models are simple and at the same time …
