Construction of seismic-resistant supports for air ducts and cable trays

Home / Construction of seismic-resistant supports for air ducts and cable trays

Suspended systems such as piping, equipment and ductwork need seis-mic braces to keep them from swaying during an earthquake. Seismic braces can be flexible using aircraft quality cables, or rigid (solid) using steel sections such as pipe, angles, or strut channels. The seismic restraint of pipe and duct is a task that requires several disciplines and trades to interface well in order to pr duce a building that meets the intent of the code. Many attachment examples and arrangements are presented, including anchors and the use of special devices called seismic restraint devices. The Easyex EFSCK Series Seismic Cable Restraint Kits are engineered to secure suspended non-structural components—such as ductwork, piping, conduit, cable trays, and HVAC equipment—against seismic, wind, and blast forces.
