A comprehensive manual for identifying and mitigating nonstructural earthquake damage, which often accounts for the vast majority of economic losses during seismic events. Unlike structural elements like beams and columns, nonstructural components include architectural finishes, mechanical systems, and building contents such as furniture and medical equipment. The text explains that damage typically occurs through inertial forces, building deformations, or the movement of structures at separation joints. By providing illustrated examples and engineering details, the document assists building owners, facility managers, and design professionals in implementing protective bracing and anchorage. It emphasizes that while structural integrity is vital for life safety, protecting the significant capital investment in nonstructural systems is essential for functional continuity and risk reduction. Ultimately, the guide encourages a proactive approach to seismic health through specialized surveys and prescriptive mitigation measures.
