Abstract: This research carried out a static elastoplastic analysis of a Pilotis-type reinforced concrete building that collapsed in the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. It examined the usability of these types of analyses. Also, it conducted a damage survey and executed a static three-dimensional frame analysis with the aim of unravelling the collapse mechanism of the damaged building. It turned out that the analysis is actually effective.
