This study investigates the influence of seismic soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the damage state of unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, with particular focus on the interplay between in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OoP) behaviour. A series of nonlinear…
Soil-structure interaction (SSI) is a crucial factor in the design and analysis of building structures, particularly when they are founded on soft soil deposits. Traditional equivalent linear and simplified nonlinear models often fail to capture the full complexity of nonlinear soil behaviour during…
