Description
The importance of accurate seismic assessment of masonry infills has been recognized after their high seismic vulnerability led to severe damages during past earthquakes. In this study, the out-of-plane behaviour of an existing masonry infill typology is characterized through experimental and numerical investigations with the aim of proposing improved formulations to assess its out-of-plane capacity and seismic demand parameters. The experimental program consisted of pseudo static in-plane cyclic tests and out-of-plane dynamic shake table tests on full scale single storey single bay infill specimens. Based on the experimental results, a numerical model is developed and validated to conduct parametric studies.
