| Abstract | This paper contains an overview of the seismic strengthening interventions in school buildings, within the scope of the School Building Modernization Programme. The selection of the schools to be retrofitted was based in the analysis of the time-frame for structural design codes in Portugal and the correspondent evolution of the construction practices and materials. This analysis led also to the identification of five building groups – “historical”, masonry wall with RC slabs, “no code” RC; “low code” RC, and other less typified building solutions (e.g.: precast RC). The major problems for each of the former five school building groups are generally presented. Some of these problems stem from the absence or use of outdated structural design codes, aggravated by constructive or detailing flaws. The implemented seismic strengthening procedures are outlined through a brief presentation of a collection of cases that exemplify the interventions in all the former main school building groups. |
