To ensure the safety of both students and faculty, a structural analysis was performed onChung Hall, which is constructed of rock , in the Taipei Municipal Datun Elementary school to evaluate the resistance of the building. Since all seismic evaluation method for existing building currently certified in Taiwan are tailored for concrete buildings, the seismic resistance of Chung Hall cannot be assessed through such techniques. To examine the structural safety of this building in potential earthquakes, a finite-element analysis was performed on this building based on the local building code and the linear dynamic procedure suggested in FEMA-356, and the result will serve as rhe reference for the upcoming retrofit work.
