A common way to model infill-frame interaction is the use equivalent strut macromodels. In most cases these are compression only resistant truss elements defined with a m [...]

Masonry infills panels placed among framed structures meshes have a relevant influence in presence seismic actions in terms of strength stiffness and global displacement [...]

An experimental investigation, at the moment in progress, for the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of a monumental structure and the effects of some reinforcement [...]

In this paper the evolution of a time domain dynamic identification technique based on a statistical moment approach is presented. This technique is usable in the case of [...]

The pseudo-dynamic test method is a well established and widely spreading experimental technique for structural analysis but the convenience of the chosen time-stepping s [...]

The influence of masonry infills on framed structures behaviour is a central topic in the seismic design procedures and in the hazard evaluation of existing buildings. Ma [...]
