IMPRESSIONAL EVALUATION OF THE FACILITY USERS ABOUT SEISMIC RETROFITTING METHOD AND DAMAGE SITUATION BY LATERAL LOADING TEST AT EXISTING EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES

In this research, we aim to catch the impression of the facility users about the design of seismic retrofit braces and the hazard-recognizes from the buildings by reenacting damaged buildings through a cyclic force laterally at the Ropponmatsu campus in Kyushu University. In conclusion, we clarify the following points. 1) We have to consider the visibility for the outdoor and lighting for the indoor when we set the seismic retrofit braces on the rooms. 2) We have to proper the size or shape of the braces to ease the pressure for users. 3) It can be able to improve some of these problems to adjust their colors. 4) Cracks of the building make strong influence for anxiety of the building users. 5) And it shows the strong tendency when the important structural parts such as walls, pillars, and beams take the damage. 6) Also the secondary damage makes strong influence for anxiety of the building users however the damage it takes. 7) When we supposed to be an owner of the building, it may judge to be destroyed or repaired the building when the important structural part take damage. 8) And it may judge to be repaired when the part expected to the secondary damage take even a few damage.
