Abstract
Abstract: Damage indices which take into account both maximum deformation and cyclic effects were developed by Park and Ang. In the field of structural engineering, it’s observed that the Park and Ang damage index is mostly used for RCC structure. The damage index parameter assessed based on plastic hinge approach which is not effective to consider the coupled response between axial force and flexural moment especially in nonlinear domain. The accurate damage evaluations of structure are depending on other parameter such as, accurate modelling of frame, selection ground motion records. Masonry infill walls are widely used as partitions all over the world. Commonly masonry walls are not considered in the damage evaluation process because they are supposed to act as non-structural members or elements. Fiber discretization technique is used to consider inelastic behaviors of member. Single strut is model as infill wall in multidirectional. Results obtained from this study show that the accuracy of damage index totally depends on damage parameter consideration and modeling of building. The coupled effects give more realistic damage of structure as compared with other damage parameters.
