Typical damage to the specimen. (a) Unseating of grid, (b) buckling of wall angle, (c) axial buckling or shear deformation of main-cross tee connection, (d) dislodgement of panel, (e) separation of main-cross tee connection, (f) falling of panel, (g) separation of main tee connection, (h) buckling of grid, (i) large deformation of hanger, (j) falling of grid, and (k) complete collapse. Note: the damage modes of axial buckling and shear deformation of main-cross tee connection are basically similar.
