NondamagedThe outermost longitudinal reinforcement is not yielded
Slightly damagedThe yield strain of the outermost longitudinal bars is less than initial strain, and the compressive strain of unconstrained concrete is less than 0.004,
Moderately damagedThe longitudinal reinforcement strain is less than 0.55 times of the ultimate tensile strain, and the constrained concrete is less than 0.75 times of the ultimate compressive strain,
Severely damagedThe longitudinal reinforcement strain is less than the ultimate tensile strain, and the constrained concrete is not larger than the ultimate compressive strain,
Completely damagedThe longitudinal reinforcement strain is greater than the ultimate tensile strain and the restrained concrete cracks,

Note: φs represents the tensile strain of the outermost longitudinal reinforcement of the section; φc represents the compressive strain of unconstrained concrete on the outermost side of the cross section; φy represents the theoretical yield strain of longitudinal reinforcement; φcc represents the compression strain of the outermost constrained concrete of the section; φco represents the strain corresponding to the peak compressive stress of unconstrained concrete; φsh represents the tensile strain when the longitudinal reinforcement is initially hardened; φccu represents the tensile strain of the outermost constrained concrete of the section.
