Out-of-plane seismic behavior and CFRP retrofitting of RC frames infilled with brick walls

Nonlinear pushover analysis of concrete column reinforced by multi-layered, high strength steel UL700 plates

“…The objective of this research is to provide a reinforced structure of column structures based on reinforcing multi-layered and high performance steel plates that can be easily carried into sites, which offers improved workability and processability by applying an easy construction method, reducing the burden on designers and improving constructability. With respect to reinforcing existing structures by artificial materials [30,32], the direction of the present study is similar to previous CFRP studies [21,22,34].…”

Mathematical micromodeling of infilled frames: State of the art

“…From the available published experimental [134,31,189,70,87,[92][93][94]138,139,17,158,103,140,95,100,175,132,71] and numerical [135,128,80,86,11,16,186,67,164,64,69,60,161] [110,17,18,42,37,68,172,76,144,176,24,96] data, it can be observed that masonry infill walls (referred to also as infill walls in this paper) can have a significant effect on the structural performance of RC frames under seismic actions. This can result in a localized or global increase of strength and stiffness depending on the extent and the position of the infill walls within the frame.…”

Enhancement of Interaction Between Infilled Wall and Rc Framed Structure

“…Recent earthquakes showed that infill walls have an important effect on the resistance and stiffness of building. Wei-Wen et.al., [5] also performed the out-of-plane seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) frames infilled with brick walls. Five full-scale specimens were tested.…”
