Resumen
Nonstructural failures have accounted for the majority of earthquake damage in several recent earthquakes. Thus, it is critical to raise awareness of potential nonstructural risks, the costly consequences of nonstructural failures, and the opportunities that exist to limit future losses. Non-structural parts of a building have the potential to modify earthquake response of the primary structure in an unplanned way. This can lead to severe structural damage or even collapse. Failure of non-structural components may cause death or injury from: Falling panels, masonry or glass, collapsed ceiling components, falling fittings and fixtures, debris blocking exit ways, etc.
The configuration of a building could be called its seismic form. An obvious example of poor seismic configuration is a U or L shaped building on plan, if it is not structurally divided into simply shaped blocks. Such a building may suffer damage in an earthquake because the ‘free’ ends on plan will sway in a different way ...
