Several school buildings equipped with seismograph are chosen to evaluate the adaptability of code accidental-torsion provisions used in Taiwan. The evaluation is based upon the comparison of earthquake response of ground floor and the equivalent base shear as well as equivalent base torsional moment of column shear force that calculated following code provision. This investigation shows that the code accidental-torsion provision is reasonable for regular school building. However for school buildings with long- narrow plan or with cantilever corridor, during design, the code prevision need to be adjusted.
