Abstract

For nonstructural elements, some of the national and statewide (California) provisions have only recently been applied to newly constructed facilities and to upgrading of existing nonstructural systems. The Loma Prieta earthquake provided a good opportunity for assessing whether these newly instituted standards have provided added margin of safety to these systems under strong earthquake disturbances. Seismic performance of a selected class of nonstructural elements during the Loma Prieta earthquake is assessed in this paper. Emphasis is placed on their performance evaluation with respect to the criteria under which they were designed, upgraded or constructed.
