校舍經過適當的結構補強後，在地震時能承受較大的層間位移角而不倒塌，增加逃生的時間。但因為舊有的玻璃窗工法未曾考量建築物提昇後的韌性，一旦超過既有玻璃窗所能承受的層間位移角，將導致玻璃窗在地震中損壞。並且根據統計教室前後門上方的固定窗玻璃，最容易在地震過程中損壞，因此本文研究固定窗耐震性能的重點，在防止玻璃在建築物倒塌前掉落造成人員傷害。
本文以理論公式探討影響固定窗耐震性能的因素，再以實驗場「面內加載實驗」及關廟國小「現地實驗」對這些因素進行驗證，過程中以量化的結果分析固定窗玻璃的破壞行為，並檢討固定窗耐震性能提昇的可能性，最後則提出適當的固定窗改善建議。
研究結果顯示以下結論：
I.正方形玻璃防止玻璃開裂的性能比高瘦形狀的玻璃差。
II.高瘦形狀的玻璃容易造成窗框凹陷損壞的情形。
III.鐵絲網玻璃對防止玻璃掉落的性能無明顯幫助，但膠合鐵絲網玻璃則有不錯的耐震性能表現。
IV.玻璃對摺破壞，將導致玻璃較早開裂。
V.框架餘裕空間能有效延緩玻璃開裂。
VI.考量材料成本與耐震性能，建議既有固定窗使用貼膜方式改善，新安裝之固定窗建議使用膠合玻璃。

Through proper retrofitting of the structure, school buildings can sustain greater story drift and preventing from collapse during earthquake, thus providing more time for students to evacuate from the buildings.
However, the conventional glass window engineering technique does not take into account the seismic performance of glass windows after building seismic improvement. During an earthquake, if the Story Drift Index exceeds that can be sustained by existing glass windows, the glass windows may be damaged. Statistics have revealed that the fixed windows above the front and rear classroom doors are most fragile. Therefore, this study was designed to increase the seismic performance of fixed windows, so as to prevent injuries caused by glass fallout during an earthquake.
Theoretical formulas were employed to explore the factors affecting the seismic performance of fixed windows, and these factors were validated through an “in-plane loading test” in the experimental field and “in-situ test” in Guan Miao Elementary School. The derived quantitative results were later used to analyze the fracture behavior of fixed window glass and investigate the possibility of seismic performance improvement. Finally, suggestions for improvement were also proposed.
The major findings of this study included:
I.Glass in square form was inferior to glass in upright rectangular form in anti-fracture performance.
II.Glass in upright rectangular form may easily cause damage to window frames.
III.Wired glass did not show significantly better anti-cracking performance, while laminated wired glass exhibited good seismic performance.
IV.The glass folding caused by failure of edge silicone would cause premature glass cracking.
V.Frame clearance could effectively delay occurrence of glass cracking.
VI.Considering material cost and seismic performace, this study recommends, respectively, attaching window film and using laminated glass for existing and new installed fixed windows to improve seismic performance.
