Seismic demand on non‐structural elements for quantifying seismic performance factors

Abstract The quantification of non‐structural seismic performance factors is a crucial step to improve the seismic performance of non‐structural elements (NSEs). Non‐structural seismic performance factors currently included in modern seismic design provisions are mainly based on engineering judgment and have not been calibrated to meet specific performance objectives. This makes the seismic performance of NSEs designed according to force‐based …
