Highlights
- A framework for structural damage quantification and damage state evaluation leveraging SHM data is proposed.
- A large-scale RC frame shaking table test is employed to illustrate the damage evaluation performance for the proposed DI.
- The relationship between DI value and damage state is established to determine thresholds for rapid post-earthquake decisions.
