The developments in the last three decades in the area of seismic design of mechanical and
electrical equipment, architectural components, as well as other secondary structures and …

Nonstructural components (NSCs) are parts, elements, and subsystems that are not part of
the primary load-bearing system of building structures but are subject to seismic loading …

The peak acceleration demands for acceleration-sensitive nonstructural components
supported on elastic and inelastic regular moment-resisting frame structures are statistically …

An extensive parametric study is conducted with eight code-designed steel moment-
resisting frames and a series of linear and nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom nonstructural …

In this study, inelastic floor spectra are developed for designing acceleration-sensitive
nonstructural components (NSCs). The parameters response modification (reduction) factor …

A statistical analysis of the peak acceleration demands for nonstructural components (NSCs)
supported on a variety of stiff and flexible inelastic regular moment‐resisting frame structures …

An approximate method is proposed to estimate the seismic response of nonlinear
nonstructural components attached to nonlinear building structures. The method is based on …

Nonstructural components (NSCs) housed in building structures are subject to semi-narrow
band excitations generated via filtering of the ground motion by the supporting building …

A fundamental issue in the framework of seismic probabilistic risk analysis is the choice of
ground motion intensity measures (IMs). Based on the floor response spectrum method, the …

The recorded floor acceleration responses of a wide variety of instrumented buildings are
used to evaluate the findings of previous numerical studies regarding the effect of different …
