Appraisal of seismic design methodologies for suspended non-structural elements in Europe
Abstract
The importance of non-structural elements on the seismic performance of buildings is now widely recognized. A building cannot achieve a life-safety or continuous functionality performance after an earthquake if all its non-structural elements are damaged and/or out of function. Suspended non-structural elements, such as piping and mechanical services, play a crucial role in maintaining life-safety and functionality of a building after an …
