Abstract
In this paper, a suitable damage index is demonstrated to assess the seismic-resistant design of masonry wall buildings reinforced with double x-bracing concrete frames. As a criterion indicative of the damage level that might occur after an earthquake, the damage index can be calculated by using analytic results, by using the Park–Ang formula on masonry wall buildings reinforced with concrete structures, and by adjusting the index values in accordance with the results of the analysed models. The data used in this study are collected from the results of four-storey concrete structures with masonry walls under cyclical lateral forces. To simulate the masonry walls’ structural behaviours for damage assessment, x-bracings placed as crosses on each bracing are used to support the compressive strength. Then, the analysis results are used to assess the damage that occurs to the masonry wall building structure by considering deformation and energy decay; additionally, a suitable damage index is calculated for each damage level. The damage index can be considered in the seismic-resistant design of masonry walls reinforced with x-bracing concrete frames.
