A Damage Model for Seismic Retrofitting of Structures [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2009 Numerous damage models have been developed in order to analyse the seismic behavior. Among the different possibilities existing in the literature, it is very clear that models developed along the lines of Continuum Damage Mechanics are more consistent with the definition of damage like a phenomenon with mechanical consequences as they include ...
