工程直覺之採納與過去震後教訓之學習遠比任何數量之計算與分析重要。本研究利用實際建築中柱之細部資料，展示100間台灣台南市與南投縣校舍模型之耐震評估結果。根據九二一集集大地震之勘災結果，低矮剪力型房屋之耐震能力建議採用簡化之非線性靜力側推分析方法來評估，其原理係將損毀樓層內柱之側力位移曲線進行並連相加而計算出整體結構之耐震能力。另外，結構對應之崩塌地表加速度則參考ACT-40所建議之容量震譜方法來估計。
本研究利用新城國中校舍現地實驗與國家地震中心柱實尺寸試驗之結果來驗證建議之分析方法。校舍模型之耐震評估結果除與現行耐震規範比對外，也與實際建築所處位置之崩塌地表加速度資料庫互相比較。本研究展示並討論1912根柱子受地震力作用下之行為與100間校舍模型之耐震能力。經由耐震能力評估發現這些校舍可能沒有適當地進行耐震設計。簡易推垮分析結果顯示台灣校舍耐震能力與實際在九二一記錄之地震破壞情況相符，而柱桿件主要之破壞模式以撓曲破壞或撓剪破壞為主。

Engineering sense and learning from past earthquakes are more important than any amounts of computation and analysis. This study reports seismic assessment of 100 school buildings model in Taiwan with the real columns detailing from Tainan and Nantou databank. According to the post-earthquake reconnaissance of the 921 Chi-Chi Earthquake, a simplified nonlinear static pushover analysis was proposed to evaluate low-rise shear building which the capacity of an existing building is estimated by superposing the load-displacement response of vertical members in the damage story. The corresponding collapse peak ground motion was obtained by using Capacity Spectrum Analysis referred to ATC-40.
Hsin Tsheng Junior High School in-situ pushover test and columns laboratory testing validate the analytical approaches. The seismic assessments are observed with current seismic code requirements and also compared to the real buildings PGA databank. Based on 1912 columns and 100 school buildings model, the general behavior of Taiwan columns and the seismic capacity of school buildings are discussed. Seismic capacity assessments indicate that those school buildings may not well-engineered design. The simplified pushover analysis results in predicting seismic capacity assessment of Taiwan school buildings show good agreement compared with recorded building PGA during Chi-Chi Earthquake. The behaviors of investigated school building columns are mainly dominated by flexural failure or flexural shear failure.
