Keywords:      Infill Walls, University of Alberta

Page Content:

 

Lead Investigators:     Yasser Korany (University of Alberta)

 

CMRC Support:         Support has been provided through funding of the endowed MCAA Chair in Masonry Systems as well as financial and in-kind support through local CMRC members.

  • NSERC IPS Student Mohammed Ashraf Nazief (Numerical investigation of the behavior of shear infill masonry walls with openings)

 

Impacts of Research:            The results of this research have helped to further contribute to our understanding of the complex behaviour of masonry infill frames under lateral loads.
