A Novel Approach to Discriminate Between Structural and Non-Structural Post-Earthquake Damage in RC Structures by Beyza Gultekin, Gamze Dogan

“…However, due to the need for rapid assessment of damaged buildings after earthquakes, these two damage mechanisms can sometimes be confused. Non-structural damage is classified as structural, leading to uneconomic structural decisions such as demolition or strengthening, or conversely, life safety issues arise from misidentifying critical structural damage with non-structural damage. …”
