A non-structural seismic mitigation program consists of key elements such as; Seismic Risk Assessments, component selection, Seismic Engineering, Retrofit Cost Estimating, Installation Quality Assurance and Mitigation tracking and documentation.
Non-structural components, or Operational and Functional Components (OFCs), can be divided into three categories:
- Architectural (external and internal),
- Building services (mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and telecommunication), and
- Building contents (common and specialized).
