The role of masonry infills in the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete buildings has been
widely studied in terms of their strength and stiffness contribution in the in‐plane (IP) …

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 …

During earthquakes, unreinforced masonry (URM) infills are subjected to in-plane (IP) and
out-of-plane (OOP) actions. Displacement demands in the IP direction affect the OOP …

One of the main challenges in earthquake risk mitigation is the assessment of existing
buildings not designed according to modern codes and the development of effective …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the use of textile-reinforced mortar
(TRM) jackets as a means of improving the out-of-plane performance of masonry infill walls …

This paper presents a uniform framework for seismic vulnerability assessment of selected
reinforced concrete (RC) structures in Malaysia based on an improved seismic vulnerability …

The construction of RC frame structures with masonry infills is part of the traditional building
practice in many European countries and worldwide. Several studies have been recently …

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 …

Post-earthquake damage data represent an invaluable source of information for the seismic
vulnerability assessment of the exposed building stock, as they are a direct evidence of the …
