Nonstructural elements (NEs) are generally defined as elements typically housed within
buildings/facilities that are not part of the structural system. Nonstructural elements are often …

Nonstructural components are the members attached to building structures to realize and
maintain the building functionality. Although they are not intended to bear loads …

A shake table protocol for seismic assessment and qualification of acceleration‐sensitive
nonstructural elements (NEs) is developed. The paper critically reviews existing protocols …

The rocking response of freestanding building contents simplified as rigid bodies was
usually investigated in two dimensions with ground motions as the input, while their three …

The seismic response of freestanding elements is typically extremely critical, and this is
associated with a high seismic risk in the case of museum objects and artefacts. This paper …

Recent severe earthquakes highlighted the high vulnerability of artistic assets. Thus, the
seismic assessment and formulation of preservation strategies of artifacts are key …

The uncertainty coming from various sources will have a considerable influence on the
credibility of the structural performance evaluation of tall buildings. This paper proposes a …

With consideration of seismic resilience, damage of nonstructural components (NSCs)
attracts significant attentions. Most previous studies focused on dynamic behaviors of NSCs …

Purpose: This paper conducts a review of the different research carried out recently on the
behavior of non-structural elements (NSEs) and the life cycle assessment (LCA) during an …

Telecommunication system is one of the critical lifeline systems for national life and post-
earthquake emergency response. Telecommunication equipment is the necessary …
