| Abstract | Earthquake are an eminent threat each country face an are capable of overturning any existing structure to dust in a matter of seconds if proper designing is not done in order to resist these loads. According to the researchers most of the structures in Thailand are gravity designed structures and are not designed for ground motion activities. Therefore, these buildings have a high probability to destroy when it’s subjected to an earthquake. In this assessment a nine storey dormitory structure which is located in the northern part of Thailand was considered. The nonlinear finite element analysis tool called as OpenSees was used for this assessment. The fragility curves which can predict the damage state of the structure for a given ground motion were developed, based on the capacity levels of the structure which were obtained from nonlinear static pushover analysis. This assessment was carried out without considering the infill walls. Finally, based on the fragility curves the decision to retrofit, not retrofit, or demolished the structure when it subjected to an earthquake can be taken.
