The role of masonry infill in progressive collapse mitigation of multi-storey buildings

The research presented in this thesis addresses the influence of non-structural masonry infill on the resistance of multi-storey buildings to progressive collapse under sudden column loss scenarios. In particular, the mechanical response of infilled frames in peripheral bays is investigated within t...
