The new seismic design code adopted for railway structures in Japan is a system to check whether the response calculated through dynamic analysis satisfies the seismic performance of railway structures. To aim at a new seismic design method, it is necessary to quantitatively evaluate the bearing capacity and ductility of members that compose a structure. Based on the result of cyclic loading tests of members, this paper proposes quantitative evaluation of bearing capacity and ductility correspondent damage degree of reinforced concrete members.
