Abstract Earthquake damage to nonstructural components presents a life-safety risk for occupants and can introduce extensive financial losses and lead to extended downtime of a structure. Current code provisions specify lateral force demands and anchoring requirements aimed at limiting life-safety hazards. Code demands are based on a simplified equation that accounts for some key parameters and does not fully consider the contribution of component attachment. Similarly, most nonstructural numerical and experimental simulations include a fixed-based single-degree-of-freedom model, with nonlinear behavior incorporated within the component. Previous research suggests that attachment design changes the boundary conditions and is an important parameter in determining component dynamic properties. Flexible attachments pose similar challenges with foundation uplift and rocking systems modeling. In this study, a mechanics-based numerical modeling approach for floor-anchored nonstructural components attached via steel channel connections is provided. The model considers the interaction between flexible component response and constrained rocking at the base. In this study, a generalized analytical approach to estimate the force-displacement relationships of the attachment is defined. An experimental test program of attachments connected to concrete with postinstalled expansion anchors supported the analytical approach. The mechanics-based model was compared with previous shake-table tests to evaluate its performance. The proposed model offers a simple approach for engineers to estimate the contribution of attachment design to the dynamic amplification of the component. |
