Lecture

Failure modes: URM structures & RC frames with URM infills

Description

This lecture covers the failure modes of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures, focusing on in-plane and out-of-plane failures, as well as the interaction of URM walls with seismic loading. It also discusses the failure mechanisms of reinforced concrete (RC) frames with URM infills, highlighting the risks associated with masonry infills in seismic events and the importance of considering them in structural design.
