RetroFILL : residual spaces as urban infill
… environmental and social cues to create vibrant infill architecture. The emphasis is on creating a multi-faceted responsive environment the respects both the user and public experience in the building. The design methodology includes the analysis and cataloging of a variety of residual site …

A Frame + Infill House in Lima, Peru
… is a study of the relationship between frame, infill, and earth. A search of structure defining space through threshold. Ultimately, it proposes a structural frame as a collection of rooms.

An urban infill : a residual site in Boston
This thesis is concerned with the treatment of residual sites in the context of the urban environment and in particular with the wounds inflicted by the passage of the Massachusetts Turnpike through the city of Boston. The Pike, crossing the city from east to west at a level which is approximately …

The Impact of Design upon Urban Infill Development
Within the context of the contribution that urban infill development makes to urban wholeness, this thesis examines three specific sites in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina. The thesis tests the impact upon these sites of certain environmental design theories and principles developed primarily …

Behavior of reinforced concrete frames with masonry infill walls
Out-of-plane behavior and strength of cracked masonry panels cannot be accurately predicted. This report increases the knowledge and understanding of the behavior observed in masonry panels, and provides tools to estimate their ultimate capacities.

Behaviour of reinforced concrete frames with lightweight blockwork infill panels.
… concerns the behaviour of lightweight blockork infill panels bounded by reinforced concrete frames. A detailed and comprehensive review of the literature on different frame-inf ill combinations is presented. Details are given of tests on sixteen third-scale infilled frames and four open frames. …

Re-urbanizing Ismailia : by implementing an urban infill housing strategy
… of the Sheikh Zayed district. Using an urban infill strategy, this proposed plan is based on the premise that compact cities are more sustainable because dense areas share the same infrastructure and public services, are more walkable and bikable, and therefore they save energy and reduce …

Rediscovering the river : infill and adaptive reuse in Brattleboro, Vermont
This thesis develops several ideas voiced by the citizens of Brattleboro. The first, the River Walk, is a pedestrian path at the rear of the downtown commercial area of town. Projections are made about the possible route and form of this path, which would overlook the Connecticut River. A …

Armature: Infill, A Health Care Facility in Verón, Dominican Republic
The purpose of this book is to explore the idea of duration of physical architectural elements, and how their relative permanence or temporariness affects time and memory. This project takes on the program of a healthcare facility in the community of Verón located in the Dominican Republic. Through …

Assessment of Mansionization and Residential Infill Development on Stormwater Runoff
Residential infill development and the associated increases in impervious cover and stormwater runoff have the potential to overwhelm aging infrastructure causing erosion, flooding, and ecological degradation of waterways. The lack of greenfield sites available for new development around urban …

Improving Urban Watershed Health Through Suburban Infill Design and Development
… urban watershed health using retrofit and infill development as a primary means. The aim of this study is to evaluate the patterns and approaches of suburban infill developments in order to determine which methods and extents are deemed capable of improving the health, sustainability and …

Understanding residential infill: a Christchurch case study of typologies and stakeholders
… and planning. Literature points to residential infill as a method of providing for housing development within city limits. While residential infill is recognised in literature, little is known about what it consists of and the different stakeholders involved. This study will document different …

Seismic In-Plane Response of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Masonry Infill Walls
… after destructive earthquakes indicate that infill walls interact with reinforced concrete (RC) frames in buildings during an earthquake and could cause failure mechanism different than what the frames are originally designed for. A new method to identify the failure modes of RC frames with …

An Analytical Study of the Interaction of Frames and Infill Masonry Walls
… being severely damaged due to the presence of infill masonry walls acting in the plane of the frame. In this study a nonlinear dynamic model to study the behavior of frames infilled by masonry walls has been presented. The nonlinearities of the model include the interaction between the frame …

Making a place: an infill proposal at VPI&SU, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA
A pathway to go from the profane to a village of higher aspirations. A House of Visual Arts and an existing school of architecture flank the pathway as the realm of the mundane is received into the world of the sublime. Rows of trees define streams of space flowing into a reservoir of space, …

Enhancing Progressive Collapse Resistance of Steel Building Frames Using Thin Infill Steel Panels
… behavior. The first model explicitly models the infill plates to capture the plate buckling behavior. The second model known as strip model represents the infill panels as diagonal strips. In addition to the FE models, a plastic analysis model derived from the prior research on seismically …

Intrinsic variations in geometric properties of nonlinear equivalent strut models for infill-RC frames
Reinforced concrete frames infilled with unreinforced masonry are commonly used in structures worldwide. The interaction between the frame and the infill panel is usually ignored in engineering practice, and the masonry infill is not considered as a structural element. However, observations made …
