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.

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 …

A Study of the Seismic Performance of Early Multi-Story Steel Frame Structures with Unreinforced Masonry Infill
… frame construction with unreinforced masonry infill walls is a common system found in high-rise structures built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Recorded performance of this dual system during seismic events shows that the structures are able to resist a high level of …

Evaluation of two RC buildings retrofit with steel bracing
… similar in that diagonal steel braces and RC infill walls were used to stiffen and strengthen the existing frames. The schemes were different in that one had steel bracing in the interior of the building while the other had steel bracing on the exterior of the building.

Optimization of timber-based strengthening techniques for the seismic retrofit of existing masonry buildings
… such timber-based elements to the surface of the walls of a building by using mechanical or adhesive point-to-point connections. The analysed solutions see the use of strong-backs and timber panels combined with membranes and insulation layers to obtain integrated and highly efficient …

Increasing the Blast Resistance of Concrete Masonry Walls Using Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) Composites
Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are often used as load-bearing or infill walls in buildings in many countries. Such walls are also commonly found in existing and heritage buildings in Canada. URM walls are strong structural elements when subjected to axial loading, but are very vulnerable under …
