Observational analysis shows variability in maximum acceleration in non-structural components, indicating significant implications for design standards.
Key Points
Maximum acceleration of non-structural components can exceed design values, especially with shear hysteresis considered.
Variability in acceleration predictions heavily depends on earthquake records and anchor types.
Reducing the tolerance gap in anchorages can significantly decrease prediction uncertainty.
Damage to non-structural components leads to substantial losses in reinforced concrete buildings after earthquakes.
