Nonstructural components typically are not designed for seismic loads, yet their behavior
can affect the postearthquake building functionality significantly. Nonstructural damage …

地震中建筑物内吊顶的破坏主要表现为吊顶板, 灯具等构件的坠落. 其不但会造成经济损失,
而且会严重影响建筑物在震后的正常使用, 阻碍建筑物功能的快速恢复. 该文以在2013 年7.0 …

Damage of nonstructural components during past seismic events was shown to be not only
a critical threat to life safety in extreme cases but also led to substantial reduction of …

The post-earthquake damage of a ceiling system has an important effect on the buildings in
normal usage and on the rapid recovery of functions, resulting in the severe economic loss …

The seismic response of suspended ceiling systems that were shaken at the University at
Buffalo; University of Nevada, Reno; and E-Defense facilities is critically assessed in this …

In recent years, scientific interest for the study of Non-Structural Elements (NSE) has
significantly increased and the importance of the seismic safety of these elements has …

The seismic assessment of an existing building is often required, possibly due to a change
in use, changes in legislation (as recently occurred in New Zealand), for insurance purposes …

The role of non‐structural elements (NSEs) in the seismic performance of buildings has
been highlighted in past years. Research studies following state‐of‐the‐art methodologies …

The need to understand how ceiling systems perform during an earthquake is becoming
increasingly important for the design or retrofit of new buildings to meet higher performance …

During an earthquake, damages of non-structural components can prevent the safe
occupancy of buildings and contribute largely to the global economic losses. Ceiling …
