FRP Strengthened Brick-Infilled RC Frames: An Approach for their Proper Consideration in Design

“…(20), the response for various combinations of f mas , E mas and e 2 is presented; based on these results, the values selected were: f mas = 1.65 MPa, E mas = 1700 MPa and e 2 = 0.002. The value of f mas = 1.65 MPa for the compressive strength of the masonry suggests very low resistance, which should not be considered as unusual for existing structures, especially those with poor mechanical properties of mortar [42,43]. analysis e 2 =0.0015 Fig.…”

Analytical versus observational fragilities: the case of Pettino (L’Aquila) damage data database

“…As an example, interstorey height can be easily estimated from code prescription and literature data (e.g., Bal et al 2006), as well as the design spectral acceleration S a,d (T) can be obtained from code prescription at the age of construction. R  is a result of the design approach that reflects obsolete design practice more than current capacity design provisions and it is conservatively estimated equal to 1.10.…”

“…Regarding external infills, thickness (t w ) is considered equal to 20 cm. For the evaluation of internal infills, it is assumed that their area in each direction is equal to 50% of the area of external infills, in analogy with the assumption made by Bal et al (2006). Openings are computed through the strength reduction coefficients provided by Kakaletsis and Karayannis (2009).…”

Estimation of Effective Stiffness of Infill Panels at Damage Limitation Limit State for Low- And Mid-Rise Infilled Rc Frames

“…In each frame, infill panels are uniformly distributed along the height (see Figure 1). Panel thickness is equal to 200 mm, corresponding to a double layer brick infill (120+80) mm thick, which can be considered as typical of a non-structural infill masonry wall [34]. Presence of openings is not taken into account.…”
