degradation due to IP damage and vice-versa;
3. Take into account the OOP stiffness
degradation due to IP damage and vice-versa;
4. Allow modelling the IP and OOP behaviour
of infills – and the corresponding degrading
rules – adopting any trilinear material model as
well as any hysteretic rule.

Application example: Case-study RC buildings
Two case eight-storey RC buildings designed addressing EC2 and EC8 provisions are considered.
Each building has been designed on A type soil. The two buildings differs for the design PGA at Life
Safety Limit State, which is equal to 0.15 g (8P15 case-study building) and 0.35 g (8P35 case-study
building) and at Damage Limitation Limit State, which is equal to 0.06 g and 0.14 g (i.e., 0.4 times the
PGA at LS), respectively. The inter-storey height, h, is 3 m for all storeys. All bays width, w, is 4.5 m.
Eurocode 8 Type I spectrum was adopted. A behaviour factor equal to 4.68 was applied.
RC elements non-linearity was modelled by applying a code-based approach, with an elastic-perfectly
plastic backbone provided of the cracking point and with chord rotation at yielding determined
accordingly to the formulation proposed in EC8, part 3.

The case-study buildings are infilled by one-leaf 300 mm thick URM walls.
Masonry mechanical properties are the ones calculated for masonry wallets tested by Guidi et al. for
mechanical characterization of “strong” URM infills.

Application example: Case-study RC buildings
The OOP behaviour of the case-study infill panels was modelled by applying the herein proposed semi-
empirical approach. The IP behaviour was modelled by applying Panagiotakos and Fardis model, with
softening stiffness equal to -3.6% of the predicted elastic stiffness of the infill, based on Guidi et al. IP
tests’ results on strong masonry infills.
The infill wall behaviour degradation was modelled through the herein proposed empirical approach.
The IP degradation was modelled with backbones defined at steps of 0.05 times the dOOP,u (16.3 mm)
displacement while the OOP degradation was modelled with backbones defined at steps of 0.05 times
the IDRu (1.80%).

Mean OOP collapse PGAs are shown in the following table. They are, as expected, lower than the ones
predicted by applying a code-based approach (0.41 g for 8P15 case-study building and 0.38 g for the
8P35 case-study building), especially if IP-OOP interaction is accounted for (W/ model). Moreover, the
first OOP infill collapse does not occur necessary at last storeys but at intermediate storeys due to
IP-OOP interaction effects.
Clearly, if IP-OOP interaction is considered, at equal PGA a greater probability of OOP infill collapse is
expected.
Conclusions
1. An empirical based OOP infill wall model has been defined.
2. An empirical based IP-OOP interaction model has been defined.
3. The proposed model has been implemented in OpenSees.
4. IDA on 8-storey case-study buildings designed addressing EC2 and EC8 provisions were
performed
5. The PGA associated to the first OOP collapse is underestimated of about 44% if IP-OOP
interaction is neglected.
6. The PGA associated to the first OOP collapse is underestimated of up to 132% if an Eurocode-
based approach, which neglects IP-OOP interaction, the primary structure non-linearity and the
contribution to the OOP acceleration acting on infills of the primary structure’s higher modes, is
applied.
Ongoing research is focused on the application of the proposed approach for modelling the infills
of a wide range of case-study RC buildings different for number of storeys (2, 4, 6 and 8), designed
for different PGA at LS (0.05, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.35 g) and provided of different infills’ layout (‘weak’
thin infills and ‘strong’ thick infills). Numerical analyses are being performed to assess infills
acceleration and displacement demand, effective stiffness and behaviour factor accounting for IP-
OOP interaction in a non-linear dynamic framework.

The two buildings differs for the design PGA at Life Safety Limit State, which is equal to 0.15 g (8P15 case-study building) and 0.35 g (8P35 case-study building) and at Damage Limitation Limit State, which is equal to 0.06 g and 0.14 g (i.e., 0.4 times the PGA at LS), respectively. The inter-storey height, h, is 3 m for all storeys. All bays width, w, is 4.5 m. Eurocode 8 Type I spectrum was adopted. A behaviour factor equal to 4.68 was applied. RC elements non-linearity was modelled by applying a code-based approach, with an elastic-perfectly plastic backbone provided of the cracking point and with chord rotation at yielding determined accordingly to the formulation proposed in EC8, part 3. 22.5 m 13.5m X Z The case-study buildings are infilled by one-leaf 300 mm thick URM walls.

The IP behaviour was modelled by applying Panagiotakos and Fardis model, with softening stiffness equal to -3.6% of the predicted elastic stiffness of the infill, based on Guidi et al. IP tests’ results on strong masonry infills. The infill wall behaviour degradation was modelled through the herein proposed empirical approach.

They are, as expected, lower than the ones predicted by applying a code-based approach (0.41 g for 8P15 case-study building and 0.38 g for the 8P35 case-study building), especially if IP-OOP interaction is accounted for (W/ model). Moreover, the first OOP infill collapse does not occur necessary at last storeys but at intermediate storeys due to IP-OOP interaction effects. Clearly, if IP-OOP interaction is considered, at equal PGA a greater probability of OOP infill collapse is expected.
  • 33. Conclusions 1. An empirical based OOP infill wall model has been defined. 2. An empirical based IP-OOP interaction model has been defined. 3. The proposed model has been implemented in OpenSees. 4. IDA on 8-storey case-study buildings designed addressing EC2 and EC8 provisions were performed 5. The PGA associated to the first OOP collapse is underestimated of about 44% if IP-OOP interaction is neglected. 6. The PGA associated to the first OOP collapse is underestimated of up to 132% if an Eurocode- based approach, which neglects IP-OOP interaction, the primary structure non-linearity and the contribution to the OOP acceleration acting on infills of the primary structure’s higher modes, is applied. Ongoing research is focused on the application of the proposed approach for modelling the infills of a wide range of case-study RC buildings different for number of storeys (2, 4, 6 and 8), designed for different PGA at LS (0.05, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.35 g) and provided of different infills’ layout (‘weak’ thin infills and ‘strong’ thick infills). Numerical analyses are being performed to assess infills acceleration and displacement demand, effective stiffness and behaviour factor accounting for IP- OOP interaction in a non-linear dynamic framework.
