In recent years, different DAMAGE INDEX es have been introduced in engineering literature.
The most prominent one among other counterparts is the 1985 Park and Ang's DAMAGE …

The seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is related to the expected
damage limits under seismic loads and how this damage relates to the safety of the …

The aspects of a robust and practical damage-based deterministic seismic design approach
for reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have been discussed. The proposed performance …

SUMMARY A new local damage index for existing RC structures is introduced, wherein
deterioration caused by all deformation mechanisms (flexure, shear, anchorage slip) is …

The majority of previous quasi-static tests on disproportionate collapse simulated the column
removal through applying concentrated load/displacement on the top of the removed column …

To meet the demand for an accurate and highly efficient damage model with a distinct
physical meaning for performance-based earthquake engineering applications, a stiffness …

Detailed finite element (FE) models are often employed to predict the impact responses of
reinforced concrete (RC) columns. However, they always require substantial investments of …

This paper reports an experimental investigation on the behaviour of slender reinforced
concrete (RC) columns under horizontal static or impact loading. Fourteen square RC …

This paper aims at assessing the impact of removing various numbers of perimeter columns
on the integrity of RC flat plate substructures. Compared to interior columns, those at the …

Numerical analysis conducted using a finite element model provides a quantitative and
detailed evaluation of damage in concrete. As a result, the performance verification based …
