Infilled frames are usually modelled in the context of global building analysis using simplified procedures without considering aspects resulting from interaction between panel and frame. Other aspects, such as adequate design floor beams beam-columns’ joints, control potential sliding shear failure columns, that significantly affect structural response, also typically not accounted for. In pre...

Non-linear dynamic time history analysis is considered as the most advanced and comprehensive analytical method for evaluating the seismic response and performance of multi-degree-of-freedom building structures under the influence of earthquake ground motions. However, effective and accurate application of the method requires the implementation of advanced hysteretic constitutive models of the ...
