The vulnerability of masonry infilled frame structures has been demonstrated by many recent earthquakes and research studies and it is often triggered by the in-plane int [...]

In this paper, a finite element model of a school building is calibrated in its linear range using the identified modal parameters from recordings of its ambient vibratio [...]

Investigating structures damaged by strong earthquakes can provide valuable insight in understanding the performance of structures during such events. Few studies have be [...]

This paper discusses the simulation of the structural performance of a four-story school building in Sankhu, Nepal after the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake. The structure had a m [...]

This paper presents a numerical study on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frames with masonry infill walls. The study is based on an extensive parametr [...]

The performance of reinforced concrete structures depends on the bond strength and bond-slip behavior between the concrete and reinforcing steel. Although the bond behavi [...]

This paper presents the results from an extensive experimental and analytical program involving singe-bay, single-story, masonry-infilled, non-ductile Reinforced Concrete [...]

This paper introduces a finite element scheme and a systematic calibration approach for masonry infilled RC frames. The modeling scheme combines the smeared crack approac [...]
