Seismic Requirements in Suspended Ceiling Design

Seismic design relies on building project requirements that provide life safety to occupants and maintain building function during and after an earthquake. Failure of these components in an earthquake has the potential to cause harm, block egress and impede rescue efforts and can disrupt the building’s function. The basic objectives of seismic design for nonstructural components are to provide life safety, minimize property loss and prevent functional loss. This course examines the history of seismic design, seismic design categories A-F, designing suspended ceiling systems, local/international building code requirements, and more.

Learning Objectives

  • Explore the use of data and technology to create better buildings focused on seismic requirements.
  • Describe the variables such as building types, soil conditions and geographical areas.
  • Understand the different effects between geographical locations and the related seismic categories (A-B), (C) and (D-E-F).
  • Share ceiling installation requirements for different seismic category designs.
