The data sets generated from E-Defense shake table experiments of a full-scale, five-story building tested with two innovative isolation systems and in the fixed-base configuration are available in the Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Project Warehouse. The experiments included an integrated subassemblage of partition walls, suspended ceilings, and sprinkler piping on the fourth and fifth floors of the building; a full-story precast concrete cladding column cover; and enclosed areas staged with building contents. Totaling approximately 211 GB between three experiments, the data set includes isolator forces and displacements, floor accelerations, and story drifts, local accelerations, and relative displacements at strategic locations on the nonstructural components, as well as extensive videos and inspection photos. The project was a collaboration between U.S. researchers of the NEES Tools for Isolation and Protective Systems (TIPS) and NEES Nonstructural Grand Challenge projects and Japanese researchers from the National Research Institute of Earth Science and Disaster Prevention. Data set DOIs are 10.4231/D3X34MR7R, 10.4231/D3SB3WZ43, and 10.4231/D3NP1WJ3P.

“…Higgins, 2009) and precast concrete cladding (e.g. McMullin et al, 2012), component testing of elevators and balloon framing subsystems have been virtually nonexistent. More importantly, to the authors knowledge, of these subsystems, only the precast concrete cladding façade has been considered within a building system experimentally (Soroushian et al, 2012).…”

A full-scale five-story building was constructed on the NEES@UCSD large high performance shake table and subjected to a series of earthquake motions, while supported at its base in two different configurations. The building was completely furnished with nonstructural components and systems (NCSs) including a functioning passenger elevator, prefabricated stairs, façades, partition walls, piping, HVAC, ceiling, sprinklers, building contents, as well as passive and active fire systems. The program included testing the building in a base-isolated configuration prior to testing it fixed at its base, with earthquakes of increasing severity imposed on the building in both configurations. In this paper, the performance of two major NCSs is of primary interest, namely the egress subsystems (elevator and stairs) and façades (balloon framing overlaid by stucco and precast concrete cladding). Physical observations and measured seismic response of these subsystems and the associated impact on postearthquake fire performance are presented.

“…Such tests have also typically included only a small subset of NCS types. Examples of NCSs tested in prior building tests include piping, ceilings, exterior walls, and medical equipment (e.g., Matsuoka et al 2008, Hoehler et al 2009 and 2012, McMullin et al 2012, Soroushian et al 2012, Furukawa et al 2013). These tests have provided valuable insight regarding the interactions of the considered NCSs with the building structure; however, a test program involving a broad variety of NCSs essential to supporting the buildings functionality has yet to be conducted.…”

Full-Scale Structural and Nonstructural Building System Performance during Earthquakes: Part II – NCS Damage States

et al. 2016

Nonstructural components and systems (NCSs) provide little to no load bearing capacity to a building; however, they are essential to support its operability. As a result, 75–85% of the initial building financial investment is associated with these elements. The vulnerability of NCSs even during low intensity earthquakes is repeatedly exposed, resulting in large economic losses, disruption of building functionality, and concerns for life safety. This paper describes and classifies damage to NCSs observed during landmark shake table tests of a full-scale five-story reinforced concrete building furnished with a broad variety of NCSs. This system-level test program provides a unique dataset due to the completeness and complexity of the investigated NCSs. Results highlight that the interactions between disparate nonstructural systems, in particular displacement compatibility, as well as the interactions between the NCSs and the building structure often govern their seismic performance.
