  • Patent number: 11231341
    Abstract: A method for evaluating damage degree and a system for implementing the same. A polygonal line including a first break point, a second break point, and a maximum response point is determined from a performance curve of each layer of a building. A maximum interlayer deformation angle of each layer is calculated from a maximum interlayer displacement of each layer and its corresponding interlayer height. A safety margin of each layer is calculated from the maximum interlayer deformation angle and a safety limit deformation angle, safety margins are compared, and one polygonal line having the smallest safety margin is selected. A safety limit point is calculated using the polygonal line selected. Damage degree categories are defined using the first break point, the second break point, and the safety limit point. One damage degree category, to which the maximum response point corresponds, is decided out of the damage degree categories.
