This paper presents a seismic damage assessment of all elementary school buildings in Taipei City. First, we collect pertinent data on 139 elementary schools and 559 schools buildings. In this study, we consider four scenario earthquakes to occur on the Sanjiao fault or in the Yilan and Hualien area. At each school site, the peak ground acceleration (PGA) is estimated using an attenuation relation and a site amplification factor; the occurrence of liquefaction is evaluated based on the Taipei liquefaction potential map. The capacity of each school buildings is determined based on a fragility curve and building deficiencies identified from a school survey. We determine the damage state of each school building caused by the scenario earthquakes and then identify most vulnerable school buildings. This study may provide a useful resource for school authority to make decision on seismic retrofit of elementary school buildings in Taipei City. |
