A Simplified Review on the Seismic Performance of Nonstructural Components

For the reason of rising proportion of the nonstructural components in engineering cost, and its main function can't interrupt after the earthquake and its damage is easy to cause the secondary disasters, the researchers gradually brought the attention to the seismic performance of nonstructural components, and the study of its seismic performance has been gradually deepening. This paper will discuss the research status of the seismic performance of nonstructural components from the three aspects of classification of nonstructural components, seismic calculation method and details of seismic design. The seismic calculation method will introduce the research progress of equivalent lateral force method and the floor response spectrum method, details of seismic design are expounded in several design principles and specific methods, and some suggestions for further researches are put forward.
