New Seismic Requirements for Suspended Ceilings
There are considerable changes in the sections on suspended ceilings between ASCE 7-05 and ASCE 7-10. These changes fall into two categories: changes in the requirements and changes in the cited references. Additionally, many requirements have been relocated from ASCE 7 to the cited reference, reducing conflicts between the two documents and greatly simplifying the understanding of the requirements. Since the commentary for these code sections is currently limited, this paper will also review the history and rationale behind the current requirements. This is to aid in applying the requirements to field conditions as well as designing custom applications to constructions not covered by ASCE 7.
