“…In the case of RC schools built in the early 1990s, it was not possible to check the safety levels currently required in the NP EN 1998-3:2017 for all the LS. As concluded in [63], the level of seismic vulnerability of this type of structure seems to be much lower and much less worrying. However, RC buildings designed before the 1983 Portuguese code, namely the so-called "P3" schools [48], present low shear reinforcement ratios in their columns.…”

This work summarises the strategy adopted in the European research project PERSISTAH. It aims to increase the resilience of the population, focusing on the existing primary schools in the Algarve (Portugal) and Huelva (Spain) regions. Software was developed to assess the seismic safety of these schools, considering different earthquake scenarios. Seismic retrofitting measures were studied and numerically tested. Some of them were also implemented in the retrofitting activities of two case study schools (one in each country). It was found that the adopted ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) considerably affect the results obtained with the software, especially for offshore earthquake scenarios. Furthermore, the results show that the masonry buildings would be the most damaged school typologies for all the scenarios considered. Additionally, a set of guidelines was created to support the school community and the technicians related to the construction industry. The goal of these documents is to increase the seismic resilience of the population. Different activities were carried out to train schoolteachers in seismic safety based on the guidelines produced, obtaining positive feedback from them.
