Reinforced concrete infilled frames have been studied over the years along with the infilled openings. To resist the lateral loads that are applied on the frames, stress is transferred from the reinforced concrete (RC) to infill, which leads to brittle c...

Shear walls are important vertical and lateral bearing element in structures. While shear walls with openings are fragile due to stress concentration and the quasi-brittle behavior of concrete in tension. Therefore, additional strengthening rebars are re...
