| Abstract (English): |
This paper presents performance of steel buildings and nonstructural elements during the 27 February 2010 Maule Earthquake in Chile. Structural steel buildings are not common in Chile, due to the relatively high cost of material. The majority of damage to steel structures was observed in industrial facilities. In general, the structural steel buildings performed well. Limited damage was observed in some of the older buildings. Extensive damage was sustained by nonstructural elements, including masonry infill walls, suspended ceilings, partition walls, and architectural features. Brick masonry partition walls, commonly used in Chilean buildings, suffered damage when used in frame buildings with little drift control. The paper presents a summary of observed damage and a comparison of Chilean and Canadian design practices for steel buildings, with lessons drawn from observed structural performance.

| Abstract (French): |
Cet article traite du comportement des bâtiments à ossature d'acier et des éléments non structuraux lors du séisme à Maule, Chili, le 27 février 2010. Les bâtiments à ossature d'acier ne sont pas habituels au Chili en raison du coût relativement élevé des matériaux. La plus grande partie des dommages aux structures d'acier a été remarquée dans les installations industrielles. Les bâtiments à ossature d'acier ont, en général, bien réagit. Des dommages limités ont été remarqués sur certains bâtiments plus âgés. Les éléments non structuraux ont subi une détérioration importante, dont les murs de maçonnerie remplis, les plafonds suspendus, les murs de séparation et les éléments architecturaux. Les murs de séparation en maçonnerie de brique, fréquemment utilisés dans les bâtiments chiliens, ont subi des dommages lorsque présents dans les infrastructures de bâtiments avec peu de contrôle du mouvement. Cet article présente un résumé des dommages observés et une comparaison des pratiques de conception chiliennes et canadiennes pour les bâtiments à ossature d'acier; des leçons sont tirées du comportement observé des structures.
