This study proposed a numerical procedure to simulate the deformation behaviors of the uniaxial compression test of single gabion and of the lateral loading test of full scale gabion retaining wall. The validity of the numerical procedures is verified by the comparison of the measurements with the simulations of deformation behavior. In addition, two evaluation equations which are capable of es...

A series of structural tests were conducted to examine the seismic performance masonry infills strengthened with particular materials on infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures. Six 1:4 scaled-down RC specimens had been prepared, including one brick-infilled without strengthening and five brick innovative materials. The steel wire mesh, chicken hexagonal plastic fiber-reinforced poly...

• A two-dimensional mesoscale lattice modeling approach for infill walls is proposed. Two tests were conducted aerated autoclaved concrete (AAC) infilled with and without openings. Modeling was validated the test results. Infill contact length found to depend on deformation levels. Significant wall damage in reinforced frame buildings observed past earthquakes. vast number of numerical approach...

Within the scope of literature, influence openings within infill walls that are bounded by a reinforced concrete frame and excited seismic drift forces in both in- out-of-plane direction is still uncharted. Therefore, 3D micromodel was developed calibrated thereafter, to gain more insight topic. The micromodels were against their equivalent physical test specimens in-plane, driven tests on fram...

Masonry-Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames are a very widespread structural typology all over the world for civil, strategic or productive uses. The damages due to these masonry panels can be life threatening humans and severely impact economic losses, as shown during past earthquakes. In fact, seismic event, most victims caused by collapse of buildings nonstructural elements. damage an earthq...
