歷年來國內外地震勘災紀錄顯示，在建築物主結構系統未顯著受損之情況下，非結構物遭受嚴重破壞之案例屢見不鮮。2024年4月3日花蓮發生芮氏規模7.2之強烈地震，地震發生後，國震中心勘災團隊迅速前往花蓮地區進行調查，發現許多醫院及學校內之懸吊式空調設備物受到嚴重損壞，不僅造成財務經濟損失，有些震損案例更直接影響建築空間之使用機能。為能深入瞭解國內懸吊式空調設備之耐震性能與動態反應，本研究於國震中心台南實驗室進行全尺寸懸吊式空調箱之振動台試驗。研究結果顯示，懸吊式空調箱於受震過程中將會產生顯著位移振動量，並進一步撞擊其配管與吊桿，導致冰水管斷裂漏水，甚至吊桿遭剪斷使空調箱面臨墜落風險。本研究揭示耐震設計對懸吊式空調設備物之影響與重要性，並提供未來相關工程改進之參考依據，以提升其耐震品質。

Following the significant earthquake that struck Hualien on April 3, 2024, the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) promptly conducted investigations in the affected area. It was observed extensive damage to suspended air conditioning units in hospitals and schools, resulting in substantial financial losses and impacting the functionality of these buildings. To attain a thorough understanding of the seismic performance and dynamic behavior of suspended air conditioning units, as well as to advance domestic seismic construction techniques, a series of full-scale shaking table tests on air handling units were conducted at the NCREE Tainan Laboratory. This paper will present the cases of damage observed in suspended air conditioning units during the Hualien earthquake and introduce the preliminary research findings from the shaking table tests.
