In case of a seismic event, masonry infill walls in R.C. frame buildings are not subject only to out-‐of-‐plane actions but also to in-‐plane actions caused by the frame inter-‐storey displacement. The damage caused by in-‐plane deformation of the frame affects the out-‐of-‐plane resistance of infill walls, increasing the out-‐of-‐ plane collapse risk. In addition, although most regulations have recognized the importance of an adequate design of non-‐structural elements, efficient design procedures do not exist yet.
Therefore, the research program aims to tackle these issues through the development of an innovative
seismic resistant enclosure system; it is structured into the following phases:
Definition of the construction system
Design and execution of the experimental campaign
Analysis and processing of experimental results
Numerical modelling
Definition of design rules
