Identifying relatively weak areas is of great significance for improving the seismic reliability of structures. In this paper, a modal strain energy decomposition method is proposed, which can realize the decoupling of the comprehensive modal strain energy of a planar structure into three basic modal strain energies. According to the decomposition results, the modal strain energy decomposition diagram and the modal strain energy cloud diagram can be drawn so as to realize the quantitative and visual analysis of the vibration modes. The method is independent of load cases and can identify relatively weak areas of a structure from the perspective of inherent characteristics. The comparison with the shaking table test results of the two-story shear wall shows that the modal strain energy decomposition method can effectively identify the type of the relatively weak area of a structure and locate the position of the relatively weak area. Finally, the 6-story shear wall is analyzed by the modal strain energy decomposition method, and the relatively weak areas under the first two vibration modes are identified.
