Abstract
The island of Taiwan is located on the Circum Pacific seismic zone and thus seismicity is extremely active in this country. In order to make sure that all of school buildings can survive during earthquake, then the seismic capacity of buildings must be assessed. There are more than 10,000 school buildings in Taiwan, if every school building go through detailed evaluation method, it’s considered uneconomical. Because of that NCREE provides 3 steps to decide which school building needs to go through detailed evaluation, our research will focus on step two, preliminary seismic evaluation method. In this research three groups of model building based on true school building will be established, and then simplified pushover analysis will be used to find the seismic capacity. In addition to that, NCREE preliminary seismic evaluation method is used to analysis the same model building and comparison between preliminary seismic evaluation method and simplified pushover analysis will be made. After finding out the difference, some suggestion to preliminary seismic evaluation method can be given. This research also recommend a safe ratio of column area.
