A Two‑dimensional Simplified Model for Seismic Response History Analysis of Suspended Ceilings
The suspended ceiling is a flexible system composed of loosely connected light-gauge-steel runners, panels, hanger rods, etc. There is still a lack of research on the numerical simulation of its seismic response. This paper introduces a two-dimensional simplified model for response history analysis of suspended ceilings under combined horizontal and vertical earthquake excitation along the main keel direction. The friction, sliding and pounding between the ceiling panels and the runners are also included in the model. The model is implemented in OpenSees and is calibrated by a shake table test on a minimum suspended ceiling unit composed of four panels and a single hanger rod. The rationality of the presented model is verified by comparing the acceleration response time history, Fourier spectrum and the rate of the fallen panels of the suspended ceiling obtained by experiments and numerical simulation. The model is further used to identify the engineering demand parameters that correlate with the extent of seismic damage in the suspended ceiling. The results show that the rate of the fallen panels not only depends on the peak floor acceleration, but also shows significant frequency-dependency.
