Abstract
Unreinforced masonry infill walls are prone to early brittle failure and they do not structurally exist after failure. Therefore, they are suitable to be considered in progressive collapse analysis. In this paper, a previously developed infill wall analytical model which considers the interaction between in-plane and out-of-plane responses is implemented into a progressive collapse algorithm. The infill wall model is utilized for investigating the efficacy of a retrofit method which comprises of strengthening the infill walls with mesh reinforcement and a concrete layer taking advantage of the strengthened infill walls as rocking spines.
