In line with the current European building practice, clay masonry infills are commonly
adopted for the construction of enclosures and partitions in RC frame structures. In order to …

Masonry infills are commonly integrated into reinforced concrete (RC) and steel-framed
buildings, but despite usually being regarded as non-structural, they are vulnerable to …

Past earthquakes had shown vulnerability of infill walls especially under out of plane (OOP)
loading. Although some new infill walls show a good OOP performance, generally, they do …

In this paper, an innovative infill wall is proposed and examined experimentally and
parametrically. The proposed wall has an innovative design and is constructed with …

Severe damage of non-structural elements is noticed in previous earthquakes, causing high
economic losses and posing a life threat for the people. Masonry partition walls are one of …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures with masonry infill walls constitute a significant portion
of buildings, since their use is common in many countries due to the good performances of …

The seismic vulnerability of masonry infills has been observed persistently during post
seismic surveys, and their seismic behaviour has been investigated for decades due to its …

The seismic records are in general valuable information, especially in cases where damage
in buildings has occurred. The main purpose of the present document is to describe the …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures with masonry infills are widely used for several types of
buildings all over the world. However, it is well known that traditional masonry infills …

Masonry infill walls are commonly used in reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures, also in
seismically active areas, although they often experience serious damage during …
