  • Installation steps for seismic-resistant cable tray supports

    Installation steps for seismic-resistant cable tray supports

    Connect cables directly to 3/8" threaded rod in trapeze installations for seismic bracing. Predrilled tabs allow attachment directly to concrete deck. Spacing must be at least every 30'. Seismic restraint devices include vibration isolation. One of the first things to consider when evaluating the seismic resistance of cable trays is the local building codes and regulations. These codes mandate specific reinforcement. These were heavily loaded cable trays supported on cantilever bracket supports, which were attached to base-mounted cantilever posts constructed of light metal strut channels. There were no lateral restraints to the posts and they were near capacity just under gravity load. Our cable tray, bolted framing, and seismic bracing are approved as one system through third party testing. During an earthquake, cable trays are exposed not only to gravity loads and normal service loads, but also to lateral movement, vertical acceleration, vibration, and building drift.
