DOI: 10.1007/s10518-017-0120-z
Abstract: Many reinforced concrete buildings have been built with masonry infill walls for architectural needs without considering their mechanical contribution. However, ignoring the structural influence of infills may lead to significant inaccuracies in the prediction of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10518-019-00701-5
Abstract: Masonry walls are particularly vulnerable against out-of-plane seismic actions. Steel tie-bars and crowing beams in reinforced masonry can prevent their overturning, but collapse may take place also by bending, leaf separation or disaggregation. Textile Reinforced… read more here.
