1.1 这些测试方法有助于使用动态地震模拟器（振动台）在地震事件期间评估全尺寸吊顶系统的性能。 1.2 这些全尺寸程序不是评估天花板系统抗震性能的唯一可用程序。这些测试不排除使用其他小规模或全规模组件或系统测试。 1.3 这些试验方法包含两个独立的程序。 1.3.1 比较法，在相同条件下，将实验系统的性能水平与对照测试系统的性能水平进行比较。 1.3.2 非比较方法，即进行单一测试以确定实验系统的性能水平。 1.4 这些测试程序适用于所有类型的吊顶系统。 1.5 本标准的文本使用提供解释材料的注释和脚注。这些注释和脚注（不包括表和图中的注释和脚注）不应视为本标准的要求。 1.6 以国际单位制或英寸-磅单位表示的数值应单独视为标准值。 在文本中，国际单位显示在括号中。每个系统中规定的值不一定是精确的等价物；因此，为确保符合本标准，每个系统应独立使用，且两个系统的值不得组合。 1.7 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.8 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 测试协议评估了ASCE/SEI 7和实践中包含的简单工程计算无法评估的复杂吊顶系统 E580/E580M . 本标准无意取代ASCE/SEI 7中的要求。吊顶系统被视为建筑物的非结构构件。

1.1 These test methods help evaluate the performance of a full-scale suspended ceiling system during a seismic event using a dynamic seismic simulator (shake table). 1.2 These full-scale procedures are not the only available procedures for evaluating the seismic performance of ceiling systems. These tests do not preclude the use of other small-scale or full-scale component or system testing. 1.3 These test methods contain two independent procedures. 1.3.1 Comparative method where the level of performance of an experimental system is compared to that of a control test system under the same set of conditions. 1.3.2 Non-comparative method where a single test is conducted to establish the level of performance of an experimental system. 1.4 These test procedures are valid and useful for all types of suspended ceiling systems. 1.5 The text of this standard uses notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard. 1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined. 1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 The test protocol evaluates those complex suspended ceiling systems that cannot be assessed by simple engineering calculations contained in ASCE/SEI 7 and Practice E580/E580M . It is not intended to replace the requirements in ASCE/SEI 7. Suspended ceiling systems are considered nonstructural components of buildings.
