Methodology for Optimizing Structural Masonry Positioning and Width to Minimize Lateral Displacements in Buildings under Earthquakes via the CIOA

Abstract Seismic loads can induce significant lateral displacements that compromise the stability and safety of buildings. One effective strategy to mitigate these effects is the use of masonry infills, modeled as diagonal truss elements, to enhance the lateral stiffness of the s...
