Based on the experiences learned from recent earthquakes, it is recognized that the earthquake resisting capacity of the responsibility hospitals with acute services should be upgraded. These hospitals assigned to provide emergency services after major earthquakes should remain functional for their engineering structures, medical facilities, electricity and water supply, and information services. However, in Taiwan, the medical equipment and supporting facilities have not been carefully inspected and seismically upgraded yet. Therefore, in order to facilitate the governmental political issuing and practical engineering services regarding the seismic upgrading of hospitals, the objective of this paper is to determine the seismic rehabilitation objectives and evaluation criteria of both building structures and essential medical equipment and nonstructural components in responsibility hospitals. |
