| Abstract | The evaluation of seismic performance of existing school buildings has received a great attention in the last decade. A common engineering practice in The Sudan not to consider earthquake effects in the design of all buildings. Therefore, all school buildings in The Sudan are not earthquake-resistant. The objective of this paper is to assess the seismic performance of existing school buildings in The Sudan. Two typical case studies have been chosen for this purpose. The evaluation has proved that the two-story school is not seismically safe. A comparative study has been done to choose a suitable strengthening method. An effective method has been proposed by adding steel shear walls. |
