A shake table protocol for seismic assessment and qualification of acceleration-sensitive nonstructural elements (NEs) is developed. The paper critically reviews existing protocols and highlights their criticalities, pointing out the need for the development of novel assessment and qualification approaches and protocols. The protocol is developed in light of these criticalities, considering the most recent advances in the field and the specific expertise of the research team. The most significant and contributing parts of the developed protocol consist of the definition of novel required response spectra and the generation of signals for seismic performance evaluation tests. The reliability and robustness of the protocol are evidenced in the paper considering real-floor motions as a reference, also proving the superiority of the developed protocol with respect to the reference alternatives. The defined approach and procedures are generally applicable and easily extendable to different case studies, as the process is highly versatile and modifiable. The implementation of the developed approach and protocol in the literature and in practice will significantly enhance seismic assessment and qualification of acceleration-sensitive NEs. This will possibly have a strong impact on public safety and economy.
