Abstract: (10916 Views)
By identifying the damage index of a structure, in addition to a correct understanding
from real behavior of the structure, the required criterion for strengthening would be given.
Researchers have given many relations for determination of damage index but such relations have
been based upon laboratory methods which challenge their usage in a broad term. In this paper two
new methods are given for calculation of damage index. Surveying the first crack limit and total
structure failure is based upon the formation of plastic joints in the first column and basic floor
columns. To give a qualitative simple and functional damage index, the functional method was given
in the form of a qualitative method with statistical analysis and collection of different views. Using
this method is very simple and meantime offers suitable accuracy. With a numerical study on three
models it was made clear that the difference of new method with amended method of Papadopolos
in approximate 3%. This shows that given qualitative method is suitable to be used in a broad terms.
