Abstract:
The occurrence of the January 17, 1994, Northridge earthquake prompted site visits by teams of Canadian engineers to study the effects of the earthquake. This paper summarizes the observations of nonstructural damage to commercial, institutional, industrial, and utility facilities in the Northridge area. The performance of nonstructural components recorded in this paper is correlated to available estimates of ground acceleration at each site. Nonstructural damage was extensive throughout the area. The examples chosen include a broad range of representative damage. Some examples of well-perform

This paper introduces the seismic damage of nonstructural system under severe earthquake at home and abroad. Then seismic research on nonstructural system is little, and that does not match to severe damage, especially the nonstructural system cost high proportions of total price. Damage of nonstructural system has affected people in the life and property safety in the earthquake. Moreover, the paper pays more attention to ceiling system under seismic.

Abstract:
A valid seismic damage scene for indoor nonstructural components is critical for virtual earthquake safety drills which can teach occupants how to survive in earthquakes. A virtual scene construction method for the seismic damage of suspended ceilings and moveable furniture is proposed based on FEMA P-58 and a physics engine. First, a modeling framework is designed based on building information modeling (BIM) to create consistent structural and scene models for the subsequent structural time-history analysis (THA) and scene construction. Subsequently, FEMA P-58 is employed to determine the dam

This paper presents the seismic fragility assessment of the Smithsonian Institute Museum Support Center (MSC), which sustained appreciable damage during the 2011 Virginia earthquake. A three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model (FEM) for the building was created and validated using measured dynamic characteristics determined from field vibration test data. Two suites of bidirectional ground motions at different hazard levels were applied to the FEM to generate fragility curves for structural as well as nonstructural (storage cabinets) damage.

This paper proposes a damage assessment methodology for the non-structural elements, especially ceiling elements of a building, utilizing an inspection robot. The developed inspection robot equipped with a wireless camera and data processing function has a capability of providing valuable information for the repair and maintenance decision making of a damaged structure. The inspection robots will be able to estimate the damage condition without any process of engineers on-site-inspection involved. The robots also can gather the static data of the nonstructural elements from the sensor, which a

Abstract:
The 27 February 2010 Chile earthquake caused widespread nonstructural damage in practically all types of buildings. While few commercial, residential, office, and industrial buildings suffered structural damage, the functionality of many more facilities was disrupted, and significant economic losses were reported due mainly to nonstructural damage. Design requirements for nonstructural components in Chilean design codes are rarely enforced, unless explicitly requested by owners. In addition, construction predating modern codes has not been upgraded to current standards, even for such critical

<p>Current U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water resources planning guidance directs the planners to consider all design alternatives with economic efficiency as the primary criterion. Recent criticism of the flood loss reduction planning is directed at the Corps. One criticism is that the traditional design practices of the Corps address only large flood events. The emphasis on large flood events precludes the use of nonstructural methods, whose economically feasible range is at smaller scales. However, the advantage of having nonstructural measures available to federal water resources planners

In this thesis a practical design tool based on Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is proposed for wind-sensitive structures. A cost-based approach can broaden the perspective of managers and stakeholders in order to choose the best design solution on the basis of the monetary losses expected during the structure lifetime. In this context, an automated and computationally efficient procedure named Life-Cycle Cost Wind Design (LCCWD) is developed for the design of tall structures.

It is well known that the stiffness of this type of structure is established by pretension in the cables. Part of the pretension in the cables will be lost as time evolves.
