About this document
Seismic Anchorage for Cladding and Equipment by Nader Okasha is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses proper anchorage of nonstructural building components to resist seismic forces. It describes how cladding like precast concrete panels, exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS), and aluminum sheets rely on mechanical anchorage that must accommodate building drift. Thin stone or brick veneers are often adhered or anchored to structural walls. Floor-mounted equipment, ducts, pipes and suspended light fixtures can be vulnerable during earthquakes if not properly restrained or brace
