Seismic Performance Evaluation of Buildings in Taiwan

Abstract:

Integrating the available research results from fragility analysis of building structures and seismic hazard analysis, this study explored some probability information for current earthquake resistant design for general buildings and examined structural performance of buildings under the action of earthquake motions. The results of this study show that performance objectives suggested by FEMA are not realized for the buildings of light steel, pre-cast concrete, reinforced masonry, and un-reinforced masonry, designed according to the Taiwan seismic design standards. The results may provide some valuable information for future code calibration in Taiwan.
