“…The influence of openings on the behavior of URM infills depends on certain geometrical and mechanical characteristics, most of which have been investigated for several decades now, analytically or/and experimentally (see, for example, [24,27,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]). The ultimate influencing but qualitative factor is the potentiality for a reacting intact shear panel or a set of struts (in both directions), which in turn depends on (i) the boundary conditions of the infill panel, (ii) the size and location of openings or perforations, and (iii) the existence and function of any trimming or boundary elements along the edges of the openings (e.g.…”

Abstract:A new Greek Code is already approved and in force, covering structural assessment, interventions (repair or/and strengthening) and redesign of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures, in line with the relevant provisions of Euro-Codes, and especially of EC 8-1 : 2004 and of EC 8-3 : 2005(for new and existing structures, respectively).Among the various aspects covered by this extensive Code, admittedly far beyond and more detailed than EC 8, is that of masonry partitioning-infilling walls (made mainly of perforated clay bricks), already existing (plain/unreinforced-URM, with one or two leafs-wythes, previously damaged or not) or enhanced or arranged on purpose for seismic upgrading of old or/and inadequate RC buildings, consisting of engineered masonry panels, unreinforced or even reinforced.According to this newGreek Code (nGCI), a lot of additional (to those of the EC 8) related problems and aspects are at least shortly covered (in a code-like format) and presented/discussed in this paper, such as :Basic principles, i.e. reliability aspects, interaction of URM infills and RC elements or structures, quantitative global and local influence for frames or quasi-frames, possibly adverse local effects, assessment, repair or/and strengthening; Technological and geometrical aspects, i.e. types of infills, existing (non-engineered) or new, geometrical data, presence of one or of two leafs (connected or not), panel's thickness and slenderness, influence of openings and of wedging;Mechanical behavior, i.e. out-of-plane and in-plane response, macro-models based on shear panels or onequivalent compression diagonals (struts), mechanical characteristics and typical (default) mean values for design and redesign, influence of past damage and residual characteristics, as well as Methods of analysis, assessment and redesign, i.e. linear and non-linear approaches, static or dynamic ones,verifications in terms of force (global or local behavior factors) or displacement, based on specific performance requirements and levels (no-collapse, significant damage, limited damage).The rationalism, the methodology and the application rules of this new Greek Code on (Structural) Interventions (nGCI) are expected to influence EC 8 as well as the provisions for seismic design of even new framed or quasi-framed common RC structures of low to medium height (i.e. up to max. 10 storeys).

“…This way the infill panel functions as a bracing system with compression and tension forces. The design of a discrete steel frame to concrete panel connection can take various forms (Teeuwen et al [15,16]). The type of discrete interface connection for semi-integral frames used in this investigation is as shown in Figure 2.…”

At the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven a research program on composite construction is underway aiming at the development of design rules for steel frames with discretely connected precast concrete infill panels subject to in-plane horizontal loading. This paper presents experimental and finite element results of an investigation into their lateral stiffness and strength. A discrete connection between steel frame and concrete panel consist of one or two achor bars welded to a partially cast-in steel plate which is fastened with two bolts to a gusset plate welded to a frame member. The bolts in the connection are loaded in shear only. Two variations on this type of connection were tested experimentally. To avoid brittle failure, the connections are designed for a failure mechanism consisting of ovalisation in the bolt holes due to bearing of the bolts. Experimental pull-out and shear tests on individual frame-panel connections were performed to establish their stiffness and failure load. Two full scale experiments were done on one-storey one-bay 3 by 3m infilled frame structures which were horizontally loaded at the top. With the known characteristics of the frame-panel connections from the experiments on individual connections, finite element analyses were performed on the infilled frame structures taking non-linear behaviour of the structural components into account. The finite element model yields good results for the lateral stiffness and lower and upper bounds for strength.
