The paper presents an extended seismic damage assessment of unanchored nonstructural
components by means of rigid block analysis. Both (real) ground and floor motions are …

The paper addresses the reliability of the existing shake table testing protocols for
assessment of the seismic response of freestanding, ie unanchored, components meant as …

This paper reports the results of an extensive campaign of incremental dynamic analyses
(IDA) of rigid rocking blocks under various loading histories, including real ground/floor …

The paper presents the preliminary results of a study on the seismic certification of
unanchored acceleration-sensitive components by means of shake table testing. The …

Nonstructural components including building contents often represent the main weakness of
buildings and facilities under earthquake events. Most of seismic risk related to whole …
