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 …

The presence of openings greatly affects the response of unreinforced masonry (URM)
walls. This topic greatly attracts the attention of many researchers. Perforated unreinforced …

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 …

This study aims to propose a multi-strut macro-model, capable of simulating the overall force-
displacement behaviour of infilled frames with various opening configurations. For this …

In recent earthquakes, unreinforced masonry (URM) structures built of masonry walls
containing openings such as doors and windows have been shown to have poor seismic …

Perforations adversely affect the structural response of unreinforced masonry walls (UMW)
by reducing the wall's load bearing capacity, which can cause serious structural damage. In …

The influence of openings on lateral behaviour of low‐shear strength masonry infilled
reinforced concrete frames is investigated. The design of the reinforced concrete frames in …

Progressive collapse behavior of RC infilled frames is studied experimentally under quasi-
static loading and numerically by using macro (strut) and micro (finite-element) models to …

Eight half‐scale brick masonry walls were tested to study two important aspects of confined
masonry (CM) walls related to its seismic behavior under in‐plane and out‐of‐plane loads …

The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation assessing the influence of
the openings typology and position on the cyclic response of masonry‐infilled reinforced …
