Abstract

The necessity of the seismic performance evaluation of existing building structures is raised through the Taiwan earthquake in 1999. In this study, the methods of seismic performance evaluation of existing building structures in U.S.A. and Japan were reviewed, applied them to the three-story office building structures in Seoul. It is found out that it is possible to establish the seismic performance evaluation index of RC structure which meet Korean seismic code. Also it is concluded that if sufficient experimental and analytical data could be obtained, a reliable index for the evaluation of seismic performance of existing structures should be established in Korea.
