A two-parameter earthquake damage model of multi-ribbed composite wall is presented based on the damage mechanics and the characteristics of multi-ribbed slab structure. Two modeling parameters are obtained by analyzing the dynamic response and hysteretic curves from the pseudo-dynamic experiment of multi-ribbed composite wall. The performance objective of three-level seismic design for multi-ribbed composite wall is classified in the light of the calculation of damage indices range to different damage levels. It is shown that the multi-ribbed composite wall has steady lateral capacity and good energy dissipation character when subjected to minor or medium earthquake and expected anti-collapse performance when exposed in great earthquake.
