Building No. 6 is a three stories reinforced concrete classroom building. There are twelve bays in longitudinal direction, and three bays in the transvers direction. The foot print of building 16.3 meter by 60.0 meter. The typical floors height are 4.2 meter. The lateral force resisting systems are moment resisting frame. A totally 12kN/m2 dead load and live loads assumed to act vertically in each floors. The yield strength of steel is 295 MPa for all structural members of building. And the concrete compression strength for the building is 24 MPa.

Building No.7 is a typical school building constructed almost in the entire provinces during the past three decades. The building has a plan with a dimension of 41.7m × 16.25-m consisting of nine and three spans in longitudinal and transvers direction, respectively. The building has a three-story RC frame, where each story is 3.3-meter height and the thickness of the RC floor-slab at each story is 15 cm. The detail of load-bearing elements (RC beams and columns) is summarized in Table1 and Table 2. As for the floor weight in the seismic analysis, a total of 94000 KN load was calculated for the first and second floors and 87960 KN for the third floor.
