“…The damage caused by the chained masonry walls by past earthquakes, especially recent ones, demonstrated the urgency of developing a methodology allowing to truly study the real behavior of these walls, and the extent of their influence on the buildings that they contain by presenting numerical and experimental models, and trying to simplify these approaches for designers in this field, so to use them in the design of new buildings to reduce the damage to these walls [12].…”

The influence of chained masonry walls, which represents a special case of masonry infill without gap, on the seismic response of reinforced concrete buildings is extremely important due to their wide use in this type of building. We can consider the period of building as the key parameter to study this influence. In this article, we had carried out a comparative study of several 2D models of a multi-storey reinforced concrete building with a brick chained masonry wall using the response spectrum method in the ETABS finite element software, following the prescriptions of the current Algerian seismic code. This study included the use of the number of spans, the span length, the number of storeys, the thickness of the chained masonry wall, the ground soft storey, the openings in the walls, and the short column for studying the influence of these to the walls. The values from the numerical simulation were compared with those from the formula of the period of building, provided by both the Algerian and European codes. Based on the results obtained, we were able to assess the influence of chained masonry walls on the seismic response on this type of buildings. Through this article, we have concluded that these walls have a great influence on the overall behavior of reinforced concrete buildings under seismic loading. HIGHLIGHTS Clarify the importance of numerical simulation of chained masonry walls in the design of reinforced concrete buildings Give recommendations to the current Algerian seismic code for properly design the infilled buildings with chained masonry Know the great danger marked in the current conceptions, which neglect these walls in the phase of conception Give to the infilled reinforced concrete buildings an adequate design in case of earthquake loadings GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

“…According to numerical studies [21][22][23], the use of masonry infill walls for multi-story building can considerably increase robustness. Furthermore, studies [24][25][26][27][28] proved that, even with openings, infill walls could greatly improve the performance of bare frames significantly.…”

“…Walls have been utilized in construction not only as a barrier (i.e., basement walls) [1,2] or infill (i.e., infill masonry walls) [3,4] but also as a lateral load-bearing system. The steel plate shear wall (SPSW) is considered as a lateral load resisting system which is not only used as a load-bearing system for designing new buildings but also is employed as a retrofitting technique for existing structures.…”

As a lateral load-bearing system, the steel plate shear wall (SPSW) is utilized in different structural systems that are susceptible to seismic risk and because of functional reasons SPSWs may need openings. In this research, the effects of rectangular openings on the lateral load-bearing behavior of the steel shear walls by the finite element method (FEM) is investigated. The results of the FEM are used for the prediction of SPSW behavior using the artificial neural network (ANN). The radial basis function (RBF) network is used to model the effects of the rectangular opening in the SPSW with different plate thicknesses. The results showed that the opening leads to reduced load-bearing capacity, stiffness and absorbed energy, which can be precisely predicted by employing RBF network model. Besides, the suitable relative area of the opening is determined.
