Abstract: After an earthquake, it is important to judge the safety of buildings and make an efficient recovery plan. For that, it is necessary to know quantitatively the damage level and safety limit of buildings. An evaluation method of residual seismic capacity is described in the Japanese Standard for Post-earthquake Damage Level Classification of Buildings; however, the method does not consider the difference of deformation capacity of members such as walls and frames (columns and beams). Even though evaluation methods were proposed in previous research for the damage level and safety limit of RC buildings, the focus of the method has been mainly for moment-resting frames. Moreover, not enough experimental investigation has been done to verify the application of these methods. In this research, a new evaluation method for the collapse mechanism and safety limit of dual structures, which have members with different deformation capacity, was proposed. A shake-table test has been carried out to investigate the applicability of the proposed method to RC buildings consisting of moment resisting frames and shear walls.
