From: Experimental Quantification on the Residual Seismic Capacity of Damaged RC Column Members

Damage level	Suggested values			Reference (JBDPA 2015)
Damage level	Flexural failure	Flexural–shear failure	Shear failure	Flexural failure	Flexural–shear failure	Shear failure
I	0.95	0.95	0.95	0.95	0.95	0.95
II	0.75 (0.85)	0.7 (0.8)	0.6 (0.85)	0.75	0.7	0.6
