Recently, damage to the civil infrastructures caused by the natural disaster has been occurred frequently. As a reason, the evaluation of the damage for existing structures as well as new construction is necessary to be considered significantly. The most preferred way to evaluate the structural behavior and the effectiveness is against the real structure, but it requires a lot of time and resources in the process. To circumvent these difficulties, a commercial finite element analysis program is mainly used in the research to analyse the structural performance and effectiveness. Among several commercial structural analysis programs, SAP2000 is adopted in this research since it provides easy way of real structural modeling and make it possible to operate simply.
