On the Seismic Behavior of Masonry Infilled Frame Structures

Infilled frames are usually modelled in the context of global building analysis using simplified procedures without considering aspects resulting from interaction between panel and frame. Other aspects, such as adequate design floor beams beam-columns’ joints, control potential sliding shear failure columns, that significantly affect structural response, also typically not accounted for. In present work it is intended to look over literature evaluate state art regarding lessons learn recent earthquakes, evolution codes infill masonry panels, how this influences numerical models experimental works overcome existent gaps.
