SEISMIC ASSESSMENT AND REHABILITATION OF EXISTING BUILDINGS Guney Ozcebe, Ugur Ersoy, Tugrul Tankut, structural and nonstructural actions at the local levels. In making disaster prevention and mitigation integral parts of development requires following

performance levels for structural and non-structural components, illustrated in Figure 2. These range from Operational, a perfor-mance state in which after a design event, the building and its contents are undamaged, to Collapse Prevention, a state of extreme dam-age to structural and nonstructural systems, just short of collapse.

Seismic Actions of Nonstructural Components 14th U.S.-Japan Workshop on Improvement of Structural Design and Construction Practices December 3-5, 2012 Hiroshi ITO Director, Housing Renovation and Dis pute Settlement Research Institute, Seismic Rehabilitation Our engineering design and construction inspection services encompass all aspect and phases of a seismic rehabilitation project. State-of-the-art methodologies are applied to each project to assure the appropriate level of structural retrofit for the specific level of performance in a design level earthquake, e.g., immediate occupancy, life safety, or collapse prevention.
