碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 土木工程學研究所 === 92 === This study develops a computer-aided system for structural capacity-based aseismic estimation of buildings, named ACES. ACES uses ETABS 8 as its analysis engine and provides pre-processing and post-processing tools. Its pushover pre-processing module automates the tedious work on the definition of plastic hinges, assignment of hinge properties, and setup of the analysis procedure. Once the capacity spectrum of the structure is successfully established by ETABS 8 analysis module, the post-processing module of ACES then finds the corresponding ground acceleration of the structure’s performance point. ACES developed should be applicable to all kinds of RC building structures and is expected to improve the efficiency of detailed aseismic estimation on buildings.
