In order to study the energy-based seismic design method of RC beam members, it is necessary to establish a reasonable damage index to quantify the structural damage. The research group established the relationship between the energy dissipation capacity of RC beam members and the displacement amplitude, cumulative energy dissipation and design parameters in the early stage, and proposed the damage index of energy dissipation capacity and performance index limits of RC beam members. Referring to existing research, the seismic design method of R...
