Recent earthquakes have shown how infill panels and partitions, widely used as non-structural elements in reinforced concrete frames, are significantly vulnerable for both in-plane and out-of- plane actions. Moreover, their damage strongly influences repair costs for typical multi-storey buildings. The innovative technology for infill panels is extended here for internal partition too, taking into account both their seismic and energy efficiency and acoustic performances, including a comparison with respect to conventional infill typologies, highlighting critical aspects and strong points of each of them.

Abstract
Recent earthquakes have shown how infill panels and partitions, widely used as non-structural elements in reinforced concrete frames, are significantly vulnerable for both in-plane and out-of- plane actions. Moreover, their damage strongly influences repair costs for typical multi-storey buildings. The innovative technology for infill panels is extended here for internal partition too, taking into account both their seismic and energy efficiency and acoustic performances, including a comparison with respect to conventional infill typologies, highlighting critical aspects and strong points of each of them.File in questo prodotto:
