Multilevel Seismic Damage Behavior Correlation Analysis for RC Framed Structures by Jianguang Yue

“…Five structural levels, that is, material level, section level, member level, storey level, and structure level, were proposed to analyze the multilevel nonlinear mechanism of the reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures. Based on the presented deformation equivalent principle, a generalized stiffness damage model was developed for each structural level. …”
