Influence of infill masonry walls in
buildings’ response
Influence of infill masonry walls in
buildings’ response
• Infill masonry (IM) walls are usually considered on the design of new RC building
structures, as well as on the assessment of existing ones, as non-structural elements
(only gravity load)
• Common IM walls can modify drastically the global structural behavior, leading to
unexpected behavior/response and collapse mechanisms
• IM panels may change considerably:
 the global lateral stiffness and strength of building structures
 their natural frequencies and vibration modes
 the energy dissipation capacity
 a brittle behavior and failure mechanism
Background
Diagonal cracking; detachment between the panel and surrounding RC frame
OOP collapse; etc.
Influence of infill masonry walls in
buildings’ response
Typical damages – IP and OOP lateral loadings
Influence of infill masonry walls in
buildings’ response
Soft-storey mechanism due to: vertical irregularities; existence of open ground-storeys
for commercial purposes or for garages
Typical damages – IP and OOP lateral loadings
Influence of infill masonry walls in
buildings’ response
Current practice nowadays
IM walls modelling strategies
Macro-models:
• More simplified than the micro-models
• Allow for a representation of the global
behavior of the infill masonry panels and of
their influence in the buildings response
• Equivalent strut model is the most used
Infilled frames are complex structural systems and exhibit a highly nonlinear behavior. This fact
complicates the analysis and explains why infill panels has been considered as "non-structural
elements", despite their strong influence on the global response of buildings.
Micro-models:
• Detailed modeling
• Allow interpretation of the behavior at local
level
• Allow to obtain the cracking pattern, the
ultimate load, and the collapse mechanisms
• High computational effort
• Need for a large number of parameter
• Useful for the calibration of global models
Micro-modelling vs Macro-modelling
IM walls modelling strategies
The equivalent strut model was suggested by Poliakov and implemented by Holmes
and Stafford Smith in the 1960s.
Later, many researchers improved this basic model. Today, the strut model is
accepted as a simple and rational way to represent the effect of the masonry infill
panel in the global response of buildings.
The main advantage of the multi-strut
models, in spite of the increase of
complexity, is the ability to represent the
actions in the frame more accurately.
Macro-modelling: Strut models
IM wall numerical model
Previous Research
• Simplified global macro-model
• Represents the infill panel behaviour and its influence in the building response to seismic
loadings
• An upgrading of the bi-diagonal strut model
• Considers the strength and stiffness degradation interaction in both directions of loading
• 4 strut elements with rigid linear behaviour that support a central element where the non-
linear behaviour is concentrated
• Non-linear behaviour characterized by a monotonic curve with 5 branches for each loading
direction, and corresponding hysteretic rules

IM wall numerical model proposal
Out-of-plane modelling - Assumptions
The modelling of this particular behaviour through simplified macro-models is
difficult, because: i) reduced experimental data available; ii) big number of variables
and other relevant parameters; iii) in-plane and out-of-plane interaction.
Simplified assumptions were considered:
• The IM walls’ out-of-plane behaviour is considered with linear elastic behaviour
• Distribution of the infill panel mass at the central nodes, which can be calculated
as 0.81 M, where M is the total mass of the infill panel and is divided by two
(equal value for each node of 0.405 M)
• The infill panel bending stiffness was calculated following the recommendations
of FEMA-356 and ASCE-41 and the suggestions of Mosalam and Gunay
The OOP inertia panel characteristics can be determined by Equations 1 and 2:

In order to obtain a realistic representation of the infills behaviour when subjected
to biaxial loadings, an element removal algorithm developed by Mosalam and
Gunay was introduced
The IM walls are removed when it is reached the in-plane and out-of-plane
interaction drift limits. The IP and OOP interaction curve needs experimental data to
be calibrated …. (Future work…)

Incorrect seismic safety assessment of an infilled RC structures
Final comments
In the assessment of existing buildings, and design of new buildings…
• consideration of the masonry infill walls (based on simple checking rules/procedures after
the structural design) should be enforced
• particular attention should be given to the stiffness differences between the 1st storey
and the upper storeys (storey height, dimensions and position of openings, distribution of
masonry infill walls)
• The large in-plane shear demands that masonry infill walls are subjected to are likely to
increase their out-of-plane vulnerability
• The OOP collapse of infills can result in serious human and material consequences, as
observed in recent earthquakes.
So, there is a need to consider the OOP behavior of IM walls in the seismic safety
assessment of existing RC infilled structures.

  • 3. Influence of infill masonry walls in buildings’ response • Infill masonry (IM) walls are usually considered on the design of new RC building structures, as well as on the assessment of existing ones, as non-structural elements (only gravity load) • Common IM walls can modify drastically the global structural behavior, leading to unexpected behavior/response and collapse mechanisms • IM panels may change considerably:  the global lateral stiffness and strength of building structures  their natural frequencies and vibration modes  the energy dissipation capacity  a brittle behavior and failure mechanism Background

  • 6. Influence of infill masonry walls in buildings’ response Current practice nowadays
  • 7. IM walls modelling strategies Macro-models: • More simplified than the micro-models • Allow for a representation of the global behavior of the infill masonry panels and of their influence in the buildings response • Equivalent strut model is the most used Infilled frames are complex structural systems and exhibit a highly nonlinear behavior. This fact complicates the analysis and explains why infill panels has been considered as "non-structural elements", despite their strong influence on the global response of buildings. Micro-models: • Detailed modeling • Allow interpretation of the behavior at local level • Allow to obtain the cracking pattern, the ultimate load, and the collapse mechanisms • High computational effort • Need for a large number of parameter • Useful for the calibration of global models Micro-modelling vs Macro-modelling
  • 8. IM walls modelling strategies The equivalent strut model was suggested by Poliakov and implemented by Holmes and Stafford Smith in the 1960s. Later, many researchers improved this basic model. Today, the strut model is accepted as a simple and rational way to represent the effect of the masonry infill panel in the global response of buildings. The main advantage of the multi-strut models, in spite of the increase of complexity, is the ability to represent the actions in the frame more accurately. Macro-modelling: Strut models

  • 17. IM wall numerical model proposal Out-of-plane modelling - Assumptions The modelling of this particular behaviour through simplified macro-models is difficult, because: i) reduced experimental data available; ii) big number of variables and other relevant parameters; iii) in-plane and out-of-plane interaction. Simplified assumptions were considered: • The IM walls’ out-of-plane behaviour is considered with linear elastic behaviour • Distribution of the infill panel mass at the central nodes, which can be calculated as 0.81 M, where M is the total mass of the infill panel and is divided by two (equal value for each node of 0.405 M) • The infill panel bending stiffness was calculated following the recommendations of FEMA-356 and ASCE-41 and the suggestions of Mosalam and Gunay

  • 27. Final comments In the assessment of existing buildings, and design of new buildings… • consideration of the masonry infill walls (based on simple checking rules/procedures after the structural design) should be enforced • particular attention should be given to the stiffness differences between the 1st storey and the upper storeys (storey height, dimensions and position of openings, distribution of masonry infill walls) • The large in-plane shear demands that masonry infill walls are subjected to are likely to increase their out-of-plane vulnerability • The OOP collapse of infills can result in serious human and material consequences, as observed in recent earthquakes. So, there is a need to consider the OOP behavior of IM walls in the seismic safety assessment of existing RC infilled structures.
