Abstract

Earthquakes are one of the factors causing most problems to be addressed by civil engineering professionals. The non-structural seismic damage is suffered by non-structural elements (light walls, glass, furniture, lamps, etc.) by the effect of an earthquake. It is the physical deterioration of the components that are not an integral part of the resistant system or structure of the building and can be architectural and electromechanical, that play important roles within the premises, but also can be affected. Nonstructural components can influence or promote the occurrence of structural failures or may modify the response expected by design movement. For example, if stairs, heavy blocks or coatings are added, can be introduced eccentricities and other unwanted effects movements in the building
