DOI: 10.1007/s13369-018-3389-6
Abstract: The masonry infill walls influence substantially the response of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings under lateral loading due to their contribution to strength and stiffness. In the literature, there are several approaches for modelling the infill… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2018.06.072
Abstract: Abstract Field observations after seismic events have shown that out-of-plane collapses are one of the predominant modes of infill masonry wall failure leading to life-safety hazards. This type of mechanism depends on the geometrical and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2020.111826
Abstract: Abstract Past earthquake disasters showed that the destruction of the infill wall not only caused massive economic losses, but also reduced the building’s functionality and hindered the restoration of the building. Therefore, improving the seismic… read more here.

DOI: 10.12989/sem.2020.75.2.211
Abstract: The contribution of infill wall is generally not considered in the structural analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures due to the lack of knowledge of the complex behavior of the infilled frame of RC structures.… read more here.
