Sentence examples for infilled structure from inspiring English sources

Successively a suitable macro-model to simulate the infill behaviour is proposed, at the aim to reach acceptable results both in global and local analyses: two non-parallel struts are set in each frame according to the most significant parameters affecting the behaviour of an infilled structure.

Failure mechanisms of totally and partly infilled structures are compared by considering three structural models: (i) bare structure with nonstructural MIs; (ii) infilled structure with in-elevation uniform distribution of structural MIs; (iii) infilled structure with in-elevation uneven distribution of structural MIs.

Performance of infilled structures during the past earthquakes revealed that masonry infill walls play a vital role in seismic performance of structures (Eshghi et al. 2004; Hosseni Hashemi and Hassanzadeh 2008; Hussein and Kabeyasawa 2004).

Two types of masonry infilled structures are considered: (a) infilled frame and (b) infilled frame without infills at the base storey (pilotis frame).

The in-plane contribution of infill walls on the structural response of infilled frame structures is an important problem and many research initiatives, via experimental and numerical methods, have been conducted in order to investigate it thoroughly.

A three-storey infilled RC structure was subjected to a sequence of ten incremental earthquakes in a shake table test.

Mallick and Severn (1968) started in 1967 to apply the finite-element method for modelling infilled frame structures.

In this paper a macro-modelling approach for the seismic assessment of Infilled Frame Structures (IFS) is presented.

The recent developments in this methodology are also presented herein, such as the development of new formulae for the calculation of the yield period or the consideration of infilled frame structures.

In this context and, in the light of the authors' success in the contest, the present paper mainly aims at presenting several issues regarding the numerical modelling strategies adopted (and related difficulties) which proved to yield good results while also providing some insight regarding key problems in numerical simulations of infilled RC structures under seismic actions.

Brick-bearing and brick-infilled frame structures were considered, and the distortion and cracking induced in the structures were related to different tunnel field conditions.
