Our team of experts can help you select the best cable tray series for your application, as well as designing your seismic bracing layout to ensure it meets applicable building codes and standards.
This article discusses the importance of seismic resistance for cable trays, detailing when seismic braces are necessary, the factors that affect
The seismic performance levels of cable tray systems are presented according to current seismic design codes. A performance-based optimum seismic design procedure for cable tray systems is given and
Explore seismic bracing solutions for cable trays. Catalog details wire rope/cable systems, specs, design for earthquake protection.
Requirement: Each straight run requires a minimum of (2) transverse braces and (1) longitudinal brace.
A performance-based optimum seismic design procedure for cable tray systems is given and verified by three studied cases.
Seismic forces for the cable trays, including the cable weights, were calculated using the nonstructural component seismic provisions of the 1994 UBC, which was the applicable design code in effect.
This appendix provides the design criteria for seismic Category I cable trays and their supports. Seismic Category II cable trays and their supports are also designed utilizing the design criteria of this appendix.
Guidelines are presented here for conducting in-plant seismic ruggedness review of conduit, cable trays, and their support systems. The in-plant review has two purposes.
