Abstract

This chapter analyzes the seismic modeling of infill walls. the first part of the chapter describes the main parameters of the infill walls which influences the displacement capacity of a frame system. the failure mechanism are also discussed considering the presence of the surrounding frame. a large variety of analytical models which take into account the presence of infill walls are detailed listed and explained. finally, the mechanisms of crisis of masonry panels (both in-plane and out of plane) are summarized.
