Collapse Behaviour Assessment of Precast Soft Storey Building
Abstract Soft-storey buildings are considered to be particularly vulnerable because the rigid block formed by upper levels has limited energy absorption and displacement capacity, thus leaving the columns in the soft-storey to deflect and absorb the ...

Experimental Characterization of the In-plane and Out-of-Plane Behaviour of Infill Masonry Walls
Abstract The infill masonry (IM) walls are considered non-structural elements but, when subjected to earthquakes, they tend to interact with the surrounding RC frames, which can result in different failure modes depending on the combinationof the...
