Suspended ceilings, a prevalent nonstructural feature of modern buildings worldwide, have suffered extensive in the past earthquakes. To address this vulnerability, building codes now include prescriptive design and installation requirements and they permit for shake table testing evaluation. The tests to date have had a narrow scope focused certification of manufacturer’s proprietary systems. As such, the tests used limited instrumentation and little attempt was made to develop performance states. To address this issue, an experimental and evaluation program has been developed to: a) develop performance states b) provide a methodology for correlating experimental data to code requirements c) develop static experimental program to complement the shake table tests, and d) standardize the minimum instrumentation requirements. As a case study, a critical component of suspended ceiling system was evaluated using the proposed protocol and the component was qualified for use in regions of high seismicity.
