Abstract
This paper introduces a probability-based damage state evaluation methodology for shear walls deriving from a data-driven calculation. A previously proposed damage quantification index, formulated in the time domain, which is capable of tracking damage progression based on the availability of structural monitoring data, is adopted here for the quantification of structural hysteresis damages. The probability of the structure lying in a specific damage state is determined on the basis of the derived damage index and the limit state definitions, yielding valuable information for postearthquake decisions. In this study, a database of the hysteretic behavior of 1,000 shear walls, considering different structural parameters, is generated utilizing OpenSees. Four limit states of seismic performance are defined based on material properties and in relation to the simulated stress and strain data. Accordingly, the exceeding probabilities of damage can be estimated by fitting statistical models to the damage index values grouped in terms of the axial load ratio. Followingly, an informative mapping, between the monitoring-derived damage index and postearthquake damage levels, is established considering structural uncertainty. Illustrative examples, including two shear walls subjected to cyclic loading and a seven-story shear wall slice subjected to a shaking table test, are investigated to show the capability and feasibility of the proposed performance evaluation method on damage state evaluation.
