Remarks
Internal partitions, when effective, can protect the interior of the building when the building envelope is breached.

The amount of loss caused by damage to internal partition walls depends on the type of materials used to construct them, such as masonry or gypsum board. Heavy, brittle materials, such as unreinforced brick masonry, have been known to experience great damage during an earthquake.

If the building is breached at low hazard levels, then internal wall materials may protect some contents from wind or surge damage. However, at higher wind speeds, internal partition walls may fail, causing further structural or debris damage.
