Influence of infilled masonry wall on vibration properties and dynamic responses of building structures to earthquake ground excitations

In analysis and design of structures to earthquake ground excitations, often only mass of the infilled masonrywalls are considered.Their stiffness and strength are neglected or only approximately considered by using equivalent brace elements. A number of empirical relations proposed by different res...
