| Abstract |
Most reinforced concrete school structures in Korea are designated as disaster shelters. These school structures have been old and were not constructed based on the seismic design codes, so they might be damaged by further earthquakes. Therefore, we need to know the seismic capacity of school structures and prepare to seismic measures for disaster shelters.
In this study, the estimation index of seismic capacity for prediction of earthquake damage rate was calculated by using the previous proposed estimation method of seismic capacity for about 16 school structures in Busan city. And the school structures were analyzed for seismic damage rate with and without safety rate.
As the results, we grasp the seismic condition for school structures designated as disaster shelters. |
