New Damage Models for Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering

Abstract eng:
This paper suggests two improvements to the modeling of damage in contemporary performance-based earthquake engineering. Prior to describing these developments, a review of existing performance-based engineering approaches is provided. The review describes three approaches and is accompanied by worked examples to expose the detailed steps. Particular attention is given to the modeling of damage. Subsequently, logistic regression is described for the modeling of discrete damage, followed by a description of Bayesian linear regression for the modeling of continuous visual damage. These two improvements of the state-of-the-art in damage modeling are demonstrated by application to reinforced concrete shear walls.
