A comprehensive manual for identifying and mitigating nonstructural earthquake damage, which often accounts for the vast majority of economic losses during seismic events. Unlike structural elements like beams and columns, nonstructural components include architectural finishes, mechanical systems, and building contents such as furniture and medical equipment. The text explains that damage typically occurs through inertial forces, building deformations, or the movement of structures at separatio
