Before revision: The proper use of paints, protection against moisture and the correct preparation and application of traditional plasters, among others, are important factors Interaction between buildings and masonry infills Global behaviour When there is a perimeter contact between the masonry infill walls and the frame, and the masonry infills are provided with dissipative-sliding joints, the effect of such dissipative behaviour may be beneficial for the building and may be taken into account in calculations, as well as, in ordinary situations of adherent robust infill walls, the effect of stiffness increase (and also dissipation) influences the building response.
