Seismic Behaviour of RC Frames with SIM and URM infill

The book "Seismic Behaviour of RC Frames with SIM and URM infill" offers a comprehensive and well-structured analysis of the role of masonry infill in reinforced concrete frames. It thoroughly discusses the novel earthquake-resistant masonry type known as semi-interlocked masonry (SIM). The author explains the methodology for assessing the Response Reduction Factor of reinforced concrete frames constructed with semi-interlocked and unreinforced masonry (URM). The work is rich in graphical representations that illustrate complex concepts and detail the methodology for evaluating the Response Reduction Factor. It is primarily aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering, but also provides valuable insights for practicing engineers and educators in the field of earthquake-resistant structural design.
