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.

Influence of Diaphragm Flexibility on the Out -of -Plane Dynamic Response of Unreinforced Masonry Walls
This study focuses on the out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced masonry bearing walls in buildings subjected to earthquake motions. Results from a set of shake table tests reveal that, in general, the walls performed very well despite the intensity of the base motion and the slenderness of the …

Dynamic Analysis and Seismic Retrofit of the Point Sur Lighthouse
… building completed in 1889 on the central coast of California. The lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is still an active aid to navigation. The original first-order Fresnel lens was removed from the lantern room and placed in safekeeping due to its high risk of …

Role of timber diaphragms in the seismic response of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings
… The first phase was aimed at the investigation of the effects of the in-plane behavior of timber diaphragms on the global seismic response of URM buildings. The second phase was dedicated to the assessment and retrofit of timber floors, with particular attention to the out-of-plane behavior. A …

Computational Modeling of Glass Curtain Wall Systems to Support Fragility Curve Development
… This study subjects 3D computational models of glass CW systems to in- and out-of-plane loading simulations, which can represent the effects of earthquake or hurricane events. The analytical results obtained were used to support fragility curve development which could aid in multi-hazard PBE …

Risposta sismica fuori piano di strutture murarie: gli effetti P-Delta in un approccio a macro-elementi
Il presente lavoro presenta un’evoluzione the macro-elemento discrete che tiene conto degli effetti del secondo ordine (cosiddetti effetti P-Delta P-Δ) in grado di descriver la risposta di rocking di muri in muratura soggetti a carichi fuori dal proprio piano. In accordo con la strategia a …
