Unreinforced masonry non-structural infills in RC structures are widely used in many countries. However, they are often designed with simplified methods which do not cons [...]

Estimating the collapse limit state of concrete gravity dams within the framework of performance based design is challenging due to the uncertainty in modelling the respo [...]

Besides their primary implementation as heat isolation and partitioning off the living space, infill walls have great potential to influence building response during seis [...]

Masonry structures constitute a significant portion of the building stock in many countries with high seismic regions. Understanding the load carrying mechanisms of such [...]

This study investigates the possible adverse effects of the infill walls on the seismic response of the deficient reinforced concrete structures. It is shown herein that [...]

This study examines the strengthening of existing deficient reinforced concrete (RC) building by using internal steel frame (ISF). Test results indicated that ISF increas [...]

Concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD) is a highly preferred choice among different structural systems for dams due to its comparative advantages of lower cost and faster cons [...]

The idea of using FRPs for seismic retrofit of hollow brick infill walls of deficient RC frames was developed within the last decade. In those studies, surface bonded FRP [...]
