This paper presents a damage quantification method for shear buildings using the damage-induced inter-storey deflections (DI-IDs) estimated by the modal flexibilities from ambient vibration measurements. This study intends to provide a basis for the damage quantification problem of more complex building structures by investigating a rather idealized type of structures, shear buildings. Damage in a structure represented by loss of stiffness generally induces additional deflection, which may contain essential information about the damage. From an analytical investigation, the general equation of damage quantification by the damage-induced deflection is proposed and its special case for shear buildings is also proposed based on the damage-induced inter-storey deflection. The proposed damage quantification method is advantageous compared to conventional FE updating approaches since the number of variables in the optimization problem is only dependent on the complexity of damage parametrization, not on the complexity of the structure. For this reason, the damage quantification for shear buildings is simplified to a form that does not require any FE updating. Numerical and experimental studies on a five-storey shear building were carried out for two damage scenarios with 10% column EI reductions. From the numerical study, it was found that the lower four natural frequencies and mode shapes were enough to make errors in the deflection estimation and the damage quantification below 1%. From the experimental study, deflections estimated by the modal flexibilities were found to agree well with the deflections obtained from static push-over tests. Damage quantifications by the proposed method were also found to agree well with true amounts of damage obtained from static push-over tests.
