Unreinforced masonry (URM) is a fragile material that responds to cyclic load reversals in a non-ductile way, unless special measures are taken. Damage occurs in large am [...]

Numerous modern seismic codes including Eurocode 8 provide rules to avoid possible adverse impact of the presence of masonry infills in concrete buildings or unbraced ste [...]

This work presents an assessment of the behavior of infilled frames. The feasibility of possible immediate implementation of some recent developments both in analysis and [...]

In this paper, a number of 3-dimensional nonlinear finite element models of two T-shaped walls coupled by slab are created using 2-dimensional elements, varying in each o [...]

The behaviour of T-section walls in the direction parallel to the web is characterised by different strength and stiffness in the two possible loading directions, with th [...]

In this paper, the behaviour of T-shaped walls is determined by examining the relative effect of the web-flange ratio, the reinforcement percentage and the axial load on [...]
