This paper presents a damage identification and performance assessment study of a four-
story masonry-infilled reinforced concrete building in Sankhu, Nepal, using ambient …

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 …

This thesis examines the response of reinforced concrete frames infilled with semi-
interlocking masonry (SIM) material. Experimental and numerical investigations were …

This paper discusses the application of a novel framework for the simulation of the seismic
response of a school building in Sankhu, Nepal, which was damaged by the 2015 Gorkha …

This study uses a statistical surrogate model to develop fragility curves for an infilled
reinforced concrete frame building, considering uncertainties related to the material …

Due to the lack of instruments in Nepal, there is a lack of data on the intensity of the seismic
motion during the 2015 Gorkha earthquake around the country. This study addresses this …

This paper discusses the numerical simulation of the seismic response of two adjacent high-
rise buildings which developed considerably different damage patterns during the 2015 …
