One of the main reasons for their poor behaviour is the connection to the frame, which is usually constructed using mortar. This paper describes the novel solution for infill/frame connection based on application of elastomeric material between them. The system called INODIS (Innovative Decoupled Infill System) has the aim to postpone the activation of infill in in-plane direction and at the same time to provide sufficient out-of-plane support. First, experimental tests on infilled frame specimens are presented and the comparison of the results between traditionally infilled frames and infilled frames with the INODIS system are given. The results are then used for calibration and validation of numerical model, which can be further employed for investigating the influence of some material parameters on the behaviour of infilled frames with the INODIS system.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MarinkovićButenweg2020, author = {Marinković, Marko and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Out-of-plane behavior of decoupled masonry infills under seismic loading}, series = {17th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, Sendai, Japan, September 27 to October 2, 2021.}, booktitle = {17th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering, Sendai, Japan, September 27 to October 2, 2021.}, pages = {13 Seiten}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Masonry is used in many buildings not only for load-bearing walls, but also for non-load-bearing enclosure elements in the form of infill walls. Many studies confirmed that infill walls interact with the surrounding reinforced concrete frame, thus changing dynamic characteristics of the structure. Consequently, masonry infills cannot be neglected in the design process. However, although the relevant standards contain requirements for infill walls, they do not describe how these requirements are to be met concretely. This leads in practice to the fact that the infill walls are neither dimensioned nor constructed correctly. The evidence of this fact is confirmed by the recent earthquakes, which have led to enormous damages, sometimes followed by the total collapse of buildings and loss of human lives. Recently, the increasing effort has been dedicated to the approach of decoupling of masonry infills from the frame elements by introducing the gap in between. This helps in removing the interaction between infills and frame, but raises the question of out-of-plane stability of the panel. This paper presents the results of the experimental campaign showing the out-of-plane behavior of masonry infills decoupled with the system called INODIS (Innovative decoupled infill system), developed within the European project INSYSME (Innovative Systems for Earthquake Resistant Masonry Enclosures in Reinforced Concrete Buildings). Full scale specimens were subjected to the different loading conditions and combinations of in-plane and out-of-plane loading. Out-of-plane capacity of the masonry infills with the INODIS system is compared with traditionally constructed infills, showing that INODIS system provides reliable out-of-plane connection under various loading conditions. In contrast, traditional infills performed very poor in the case of combined and simultaneously applied in-plane and out-of-plane loading, experiencing brittle behavior under small in-plane drifts followed by high out-of-plane displacements. Decoupled infills with the INODIS system have remained stable under out-of-plane loads, even after reaching high in-plane drifts and being damaged.}, language = {en} } @article{MarinkovićFloresCalvinistiButenweg2020, author = {Marinković, Marko and Flores Calvinisti, Santiago and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Numerical analysis of reinforced concrete frame buildings with decoupled infill walls}, series = {Building Materials and Structures}, volume = {63}, journal = {Building Materials and Structures}, number = {4}, publisher = {Society for Materials and Structures Testing of Serbia}, address = {Belgrad}, issn = {2217-8139}, doi = {10.5937/GRMK2004013M}, pages = {13 -- 48}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with masonry infill walls are widely used in many countries all over the world. Although infills are considered as non-structural elements, they significantly change dynamic characteristics of RC frame structures during earthquake excitation. Recently, significant effort was spent on studying decoupled infills, which are isolated from the surrounding frame usually by adding a gap between frame and infill. In this case, the frame deformation does not activate infill wall, thus infills are not influencing the behaviour of the frame. This paper presents the results of the investigation of the behaviour of RC frame buildings with the INODIS system that decouples masonry infills from the surrounding frame. Effect of masonry infill decoupling was investigated first on the one-bay onestorey frame. This was used as a base for parametric study on the frames with more bays and storeys, as well as on the building level. Change of stiffness and dynamic characteristics was analysed as well as response under earthquake loading. Comparison with the bare frame and traditionally infilled frame was performed. The results show that behaviour of the decoupled infilled frames is similar to the bare frame, whereas behaviour of frames with traditional infills is significantly different and demands complex numerical models. This means that if adequate decoupling is applied, design of}, language = {mul} } @inproceedings{MarkinkovicButenwegPaveseetal.2020, author = {Markinkovic, Marko and Butenweg, Christoph and Pavese, A. and Lanese, I. and Hoffmeister, B. and Pinkawa, M. and Vulcu, C. and Bursi, O. and Nardin, C. and Paolacci, F. and Quinci, G. and Fragiadakis, M. and Weber, F. and Huber, P. and Renault, P. and G{\"u}ndel, M. and Dyke, S. and Ciucci, M. and Marino, A.}, title = {Investigation of the seismic behaviour of structural and nonstructural components in industrial facilities by means of shaking table tests}, series = {Seismic design of industrial facilities 2020: proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities (SeDIF-Conference)}, booktitle = {Seismic design of industrial facilities 2020: proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities (SeDIF-Conference)}, isbn = {978-3-86359-729-0}, pages = {159 -- 172}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @book{MeskourisButenweg2005, author = {Meskouris, Konstantin and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Neubewertung der Erdbebensicherheit von Talsperren in Deutschland : DGEB-Workshop, 28.
