Typical structural performance and associated damage states.2. DAMAGEAn attempt to develop a procedure to correlate damage <strong>of</strong> various structural systemsto drift taking into account various ground motion characteristics, was made throughthe use <strong>of</strong> a damage index (Ghobarah et al. 1997). For effective design criteria, thecorrelation between damage and drift should be calibrated against experimental workas well as observed performance <strong>of</strong> structures during earthquakes when possible. Driftlimits were found to vary and different sets should be developed for differentstructural systems such as nonductile and ductile moment resisting frame, momentresisting frame with infills, flexural structural walls and reinforced concrete squatshear walls.There have been several attempts to describe damage levels <strong>of</strong> various structuralsystems (Rossetto and Elnashai 2003). The damage in terms <strong>of</strong> limits defined in this323
