This paper investigates the damage of several low-rise RC buildings caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in Sendai City. The Selected building are evaluated to have high seismic capacity ,index Is > 0.7, using Japanese Standard for Seismic Evaluation of Existing RC Buildings. Causes for the damaged are discussed. Moreover, pushover analysis was carried out to those buildings to check its applicability to predict the actual damage. In general, Pushover analysis predicted well the damage level, but there were some differences in plastic hinge locations when compared to the actual damage. |
