Abstract :
The study is to propose the local damage indices of composite frame structures consisting of high-strength concrete columns confined by continuous compound spiral ties and steel beams (CCSTRCS), the local damage indices would lay a foundation for the study of the overall damage indices for composite CCSTRCS frame. The Mehanny damage model has been modified to predict the local damage behavior of composite CCSTRCS frames, it enlarges the scope of application for the composite structures compared with the previous work. The proposed model is validated by comparing with the present references. The study results suggest the different components corresponding to the extent of the damage and its damage index.
