“…The code, consistently with the methodologies developed in literature, proposes two main approaches: a mechanical-empirical approach, based on plastic hinge length concept, and a purely empirical approach [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In addition, it should be noted that precisely defining the plastic rotation in the non-linear field is a crucial step in the seismic assessment of buildings and infrastructure [11][12][13][14].…”

Abstract:The assessment of the plastic rotation of reinforced concrete beams is an essential aspect to avoid structural brittle collapses. The value actually available can be generally determined as sum of two different components. The first, due to bending, the second for inclined shear cracks. This paper presents a simplified model which provides the flexural plastic rotation of the rectangular beams with a ``closed-form solution''. The approach is substantially dimensionless and includes main influencing factors the cross -section, as mechanical material properties, ductility, geometrical and mechanical reinforcement ratio, confinement effects. In closing, in order to appreciate the reliability of the procedure, a comparison with models proposed by international technical standards is made.

“…The infilled frames have a important role because the plan and height position affect the structural regularity. Furthermore, when there are infills in the numerical modeling, the response of the structure varies and it depend on approach used to simulate the panels [18,19,20] The influence of the geometric configuration on the structural response of the building is worldwide recognized in all the national building codes. In particular, Eurocode 8 [10] provides a detailed indication of the simplification that can be adopted in the numerical modelling and of the methods that can be adopted in the presence of the structural regularity.…”

“…They are generally constructed for residential and commercial purposes. In recent years, negative effects have been observed in recent earthquakes, for example, in 2014 Mae Lao earthquake [4], 2011 Lorca earthquake [5], 2009 L' Aquila earthquake [6,7], 2008 Wenchuan earthquake [8], 2007 Pisco-Chincha earthquake [9], and 2006 L' Aquila earthquake [10], which highlighted the vulnerability of RC frames with infill walls.…”

The expansive polystyrene granule cement (EPSC) latticed concrete wall is a new type of energy-saving wall material with loadbearing, insulation, fireproof, and environmental protection characteristics. A series of shaking table tests were performed to investigate the seismic behavior of a full-scale reinforced concrete (RC) frame with EPSC latticed concrete infill wall, and data obtained from the shaking table test were analyzed. The experimental results indicate that the designed RC frame with EPSC latticed concrete infill wall has satisfactory seismic performance subjected to earthquakes, and the seismic responses of the model structure are more sensitive to input motions with more high frequency components and long duration. The EPSC latticed concrete infill wall provided high lateral stiffness so that the walls can be equivalent to a RC shear wall. The horizontal and vertical rebar, arranged in the concrete lattice beam and column, could effectively restrain the latticed concrete infill wall and RC frame. To achieve a more comprehensive evaluation on the performance of the RC frame with latticed concrete infill walls, further research on its seismic responses is expected by comparing with conventional infill walls and nonlinear analytical method.
