Seismic damage to ceilings can cause significant downtime and economic loss in addition to life safety risk. In order to understand this risk and develop mitigation strategies a small project on non-structural damage was recently funded by the FRST Natural Hazards Platform at the University of Canterbury. This particular project concentrates on two ceiling systems which are commonly used, or applicable, in NZ. This paper addresses the development of fragility functions for the ceiling systems based on component fragilities which are obtained from experimental testing of Armstrong (TM) ceiling components. The ceiling system fragility is obtained through Monte-Carlo analysis using in-plane finite element analysis. Demand parameters include absolute acceleration and displacement. The effect of rigid and flexible sprinklers is also investigated. The acceleration resistance is found to be dependent on the ceiling size. This information is being used directly to estimate both ceiling damage and its contribution to overall building loss.
