# ENEA studies seismic dynamics of hollow-brick infill walls

> ENEA reported on October 14 on research into the out-of-plane dynamics of hollow clay-brick infill walls in reinforced-concrete buildings. Researchers compared a theoretical model with experimental tests to assess the walls’ dynamic characteristics.

The work concerns high-void-ratio bricks and cement-mortar beds, wall types common in existing Italian buildings. It was presented at Eurodyn in Hanover on September 27–October 1. The source describes method development, not completed building retrofits or a quantified reduction in damage.
