“…A higher number of experimental results should be still produced also to investigate about the effect of the level of restraint between the panel and the surrounding frame, which can be strictly dependent on the construction practice adopted country by country, and which can strongly affect the in-plane response of the whole frame (as recently carried out by [72,73]). Lastly, quite few tests from the literature studied the in-plane behaviour of infilled frame considering all the above-mentioned critical issues by means of shake table tests (as in [42]; or [74], one of the most recent study).…”

e extension of the damages observed after the last major earthquakes shows that the seismic risk mitigation of infilled reinforced concrete structures is a paramount topic in seismic prone regions. In the assessment of existing structures and the design of new ones, the infill walls are considered as nonstructural elements by most of the seismic codes and, generally, comprehensive provisions for practitioners are missing. However, nowadays, it is well recognized by the community the importance of the infills in the seismic behaviour of the reinforced concrete structures. Accurate modelling strategies and appropriate seismic assessment methodologies are crucial to understand the behaviour of existing buildings and to develop efficient and appropriate mitigation measures to prevent high level of damages, casualties, and economic losses. e development of effective strengthening solutions to improve the infill seismic behaviour and proper analytical formulations that could help design engineers are still open issues, among others, on this topic. e main aim of this paper is to provide a state-of-the-art review concerning the typologies of damages observed in the last earthquakes where the causes and possible solutions are discussed. After that, a review of in-plane and out-of-plane testing campaigns from the literature on infilled reinforced concrete frames are presented as well as their relevant findings. e most common strengthening solutions to improve the seismic behaviour are presented, and some examples are discussed. Finally, a brief summary of the modelling strategies available in the literature is presented.

“…In the last decades, significant research effort has been directed towards the implementation of finite element (FE) models for simulating the complex interaction between infill walls and RC frames [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Different modelling approaches have been investigated, including macro modelling [15,17,20,24,[26][27][28][29][30], micro modelling [24], discreteelement modelling [31] and meso-scale modelling [23,[32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

“…But in practical engineering, reinforced masonry wall is more widely used, and there is a lot of research on testing the seismic response of reinforced masonry walls. e in-plane mechanical properties of steel frames or concrete frames infilled with masonry can be found in the literature [8][9][10][11][12][13], and unreinforced masonry walls, being reinforced by steel frames or concrete frames, could also be strengthened with other methods [14][15][16][17][18]. A substantial amount of research studies on the analysis model of masonry walls has been invested on the response of the masonry walls [19][20][21][22][23].…”

Shale fired heat-insulation block, which is made of shale, fly ash, building rubbish, and waste paper, is a new type environment-friendly product. In order to study the mechanical properties of shale fired heat-insulation block walls, four full-scale walls were tested under El-Centro, Taft, and Ninghe earthquakes using shaking table equipment, in which the influence of the spacing of cast-in-place belt and the connection between the wall and the frame on the out-of-plane seismic performance of the wall was taken into account. The subject of this study is mainly about out-of-plane dynamic response of masonry walls in terms of frequency, displacement, and acceleration. It could be concluded that the cast-in-place belt and the rigid connection between wall and RC frame could effectively reduce the out-of-plane seismic response of the infill masonry wall. Finally, the recommendations for the use of this type of block in the structure are given.
