There are three earthquake-resistant checklists for school building are provided in this paper. These checklists are designed for evaluating (1) superstructure (2) foundation and site (3) nonstructure, in planning and design stage. Using these checklists, eight school buildings near Hsin-Hwa fault have been evaluated. Several common problems about the earthquake-resistance of superstructure as well as nonstructure are found in these eight buildings. In Taiwan area, the structural system of most of the elementary schools or middle schools are analogous, and the problems found in the school buildings of Hsin-Hwa Fault area may also exist in the school buildings of other area.
