In this paper , an analytical study " sing the nonlinear elemcnt method was carried out for the reinforced concrete shcar wall tests under cyclic loading to estimate th6 ' damage te the stqUcture from Ihe aspect of energy c6ns " mption . First , the validity of the analytical method was confirmed by lhc lotid − displacement relationship , the condition of 童 he cracking and the comparison between the total strqin energy of the analysis and the load6d energy of the tesし NcXt , the dis 重 ributiQn
