Abstract
This paper presents the results of a numerical investigation aimed at evaluation of damage accumulation in structures under different seismic sequences. For this purpose, a multi-story RC frame model representing the typical buildings was built and subjected to four sets of different repeating seismic sequences with different magnitude. The results indicate that the aftershock sequences will increase the damage accumulation in structures, and the damage index based on the Park and Ang model can qualitatively and quantitatively ascertain the damage state of the structure instead of the single index based on the lateral drift demands. Additionally, different sequences with the identical energy input will cause the same damage state in structures.
