A new rapid-screening method for more reasonably evaluating the seismic capacities of low-rise reinforced concrete buildings was proposed in the author's previous research works published in proceedings of the Architectural Institute of Korea Conference(October 2009). In order to investigate a practical applicability of the proposed method, in this study, seismic capacities of two RC building examples including a pure frame and a frame with shear walls are evaluated based on the proposed method. At the same time, the detailed seismic performance of the examples are investigated on the basis of the 2nd and 3rd level procedures of the Japanese Standard, non linear static and dynamic analyses, respectively. Finally, relationships between evaluation results of the proposed method and the detailed evaluation methods are compared. Evaluation results indicate that the method proposed in this study compares reasonably well with the detailed evaluation methods. Using the evaluation method developed in this study, the seismic capacity category and earthquake damage degree of low-rise RC buildings corresponding to a specific earthquake level can be effectively estimated. |
