FINITE ELEMENT CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY INFILL SHEAR WALLS WITH AND WITHOUT OPENINGS
DownloadFall 2014
The current design practice is to ignore the interaction between masonry infill walls and containing frames due to the inadequate and incomplete guidance in current codes and standards. Most investigations on the behaviour of masonry infill shear walls were performed on scaled specimens and...
