In this study, it is aimed to reveal how anchored and unanchored non-structural elements (NEs) in reinforcement concrete (RC) library structures change the earthquake behaviors of these structures. A structure selected for three-dimensional (3D) analysis. First, seismic shake table tests are performed NEs modeled with/without anchorage structure. Owing tests, largest displacement values that oc...
