Masonry infill walls (MIWs) are essential partition components that are often damaged
during earthquakes because of their brittle nature. As a result, innovative solutions are …

This research investigated the seismic performance of multi-story reinforced concrete (RC)
frames with infilled walls. The study employed a two-step numerical approach: first, a …

This paper presents an investigation on the seismic behavior of RC frames with masonry
infills retrofitted by precast Ultra-Lightweight Insulated Cementitious Composites plates …

This experimental study analyzes the seismic behavior of rammed earth walls with Arundo
donax natural fiber inclusions, also called" caña brava"(REWC), and without inclusions …

Lateral stiffness provided by infill walls to the building structures is generally neglected in
designs. However, the infill walls, served as the main nonstructural component, have …

Initial load means the load, including dead or/and live load, applied on brick masonry walls
before being strengthened, which can influence the strengthening effect. However, research …

Adding a reinforced stucco layer to the masonry infill walls is a preferred method for
strengthening RC frame system structures with an easy-to-apply method that does not …

A finite element model (FEM) was created with the aim of analyzing the behavior of steel
fiber reinforced recycled concrete (SFRRC)-filled steel tube columns under combined cyclic …

For the first time, a complex design was proposed from modern heat-efficient materials–gas
silicate and foam concrete, to increase the storey of buildings, especially in seismically …

Creating sustainability and public infrastructure is a fairly recent subject the engineering
community has been debating. Introducing new building materials or introducing new …
