A reinforced concrete building with masonry infill is most common type of construction in India. Traditionally, conventional clay bricks or blocks which are heavy rigid materials have been used as Infill wall. Though, AAC (aerated light weight concrete) lightweight, flexible that provides insulation and fire resistance lower impact on environment, can be (MI) material buildings. now also availa...

Masonry infill walls are among the most vulnerable components of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures. Recently, some techniques for enhancing performance infills have been proposed, aiming at improving both global and local behaviour infilled structure. Among promising ones, there those that aim to decouple or reduce infill-frame interaction by means flexible sliding joints, relying respe...

Red brick is one of the materials that still quite widely used in construction practice, because it easy to get and price relatively cheap. masonry wall a pair consisting binder (mortar) filler (red brick) known as masonry. Masonry generally provides durable construction, where constituent material, mortar quality, workmanship greatly affect durability overall construction. The installation inf...

Cellular lightweight concrete (CLC) block masonry has gained popularity in the market with growing demand modern construction industry due to its various advantages, including a positive impact on environment. Subsequently, detailed characterization of vital engineering properties should be studied for development mathematical model, analysis, evaluation, and design structures made CLC masonry....

The structural damage due to recent seismic events in Nepal has led a dire need for studies considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) as the majority of designers still adopt conventional design principles. These damages may be result fixed base method’s failure take into account underlying soil properties. Post $$M_w$$ 7.8 Gorkha earthquake, revised National Building code NNBC 105:2020 clas...
