Table 2

Description of damage progression for the original building.

Story drift (%)	Damage description	Governing failure mode	Referenced figure
0.093	Diagonal hairline cracks at lintel level of P1, P2, P3 & P5	Shear	6(a)
0.16	Diagonal cracks passing through P1. At P2 & P5 diagonal cracks starting from the base and ending at the window	Rocking and vertical splitting	6(b)
0.34	Diagonal shear cracks at P1. Vertical cracks in P5	Shear and diagonal tension	6(c)
0.65	Scissor cracks over east wall	Mixed compression and shear	6(d)
0.73	Combination of vertical, horizontal, and radial cracks at the eastward wall	Global/local rocking and shear	6(e)
