This American National Standard is an updated set of flexible guidelines that shows designers and contractors how to determine the correct restraints for sheet metal ducts, piping and conduit, so that they are more likely to remain attached to the building during an earthquake. Shows how very low-risk and very high-risk areas of the country can be easily and equally accommodated.
New are additional reader aids, alternate-bracing details, and details for floor supported piping and ductwork. Also included are details for seismic joints in pipes, transverse bracing for steam pipes and a suggested detail for variable air volume terminals. Meets California Building Code, Title 24, Part 2 and California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) standards for seismic requirements for bracing ductwork, piping and conduit.
Addendum #1 (September 2000) has been published, which is intended to be utilized in conjunction with the existing structural details in the Seismic Restraint Manual. Purchase of the existing Seismic Restraint Manual will include Addendum #1. Includes soft metrics. 200 pp.
