Abstract:

There are lots of potential hazardous areas in Taiwan due to high-density land-use and construction building. Up to today, every city area in Taiwan is still continuously expending. Natural disasters such as earthquake, typhoon, flood etc. are happened from time to time within all year long. In addition, based on the high density of ecological environment, the careless or deliberate hazard such as arson fire, gas explosion etc. always randomly occurs. Such situations will cause serious life loss and citizen?s properties damage once any kind of disaster happened. Therefore the hazard mitigation and prevention research is getting popular and important in Taiwan. This study intends to build a hazard inspection and checking list of reinforced concrete (RC) building as the first step. Then based on the organization of this checking list, an automatic calculation and database management system will also be developed with Microsoft Access software. This checking list will contain three categories of every RC building, there are structure condition, fire preventing condition and using condition. Each category is organized with appropriate inspecting item. The goal of this research to organize such list for RC building?s safety inspection is similar with human health inspection. From the checking result can find out the defect of each RC building and claims the necessary improvement. Then the potential hazard and damage of each RC building can be prevented.
