- Abstract
- This report contains four papers written during an investigation of methods for evaluating the safety of existing school buildings under NSF RANN (Research Applied to National Needs) Grants. These papers are not readily available to researchers and engineers in the United States and are therefore issued as a single Earthquake Engineering Research Report. The titles of the papers are the following: Evaluation of earthquake safety of existing buildings; Assessment of earthquake safety and of hazard abatement; Seismic safety of existing low-rise reinforced concrete buildings; Design and engineering decisions--failure criteria (Limit States).
