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) …

Over the last 50 years, research has mainly focused on characterizing the In-Plane
behaviour of unreinforced masonry infill walls. Recently, the focus of research has been …

Masonry is a building material that has been used in the last 10.000 years and remains
competitive today for the building industry. The compressive strength of masonry is used in …

The failure modes of reinforced concrete frame structures with masonry infill panels have
strong implications to their overall seismic performance. This paper explores a data-driven …

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 …

This paper explores innovative techniques by combining inorganic textile-based composites
with thermal insulation for the simultaneous seismic and energy retrofitting of the existing old …

Abstract Infill Masonry Walls (IMWs) are used in the perimeter of a building to separate the
inner and outer space. IMWs may affect the lateral behavior of buildings, while they are …

The analysis of the behaviour of masonry infills under out-of-plane (OOP) and in-plane (IP)
loading is paramount to correctly assess the seismic performance of reinforced concrete …

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

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 …
