Abstract

This paper is the second of a set presented within the session: Findings from the CFS10 Multi-Hazard Test Program. The emphasis within this article is to highlight correlations between physical damage to nonstructural components and systems with measured response during a suite of 18 earthquake tests and 2 subsequent fire tests. This damage was documented within a 10-story cold-formed steel-framed building test specimen outfitted with various nonstructural components, including suspended ceilings, architectural finishes, a resilient stair system, windows and doors, pressurized fire sprinkler and gas piping systems, and roof-mounted mechanical equipment. The test building and multi-hazard protocol are described in the session companion paper. This paper provides test observations correlated with measured engineering demand parameters such as floor acceleration, building inter-story drift, or peak local temperature responses and offers related literature emerging from the project. Damage data and functionality checks will support development of fragility functions for these nonstructural systems for use in recovery-based frameworks.
