Construction Method of Seismic Support for Cable Trays
(1) Triangular Support: I use a triangular support shape. Triangular shapes spread out earthquake forces. (2) Thicker Base Plate: I make the base plate of the cable. This appendix provides the design criteria for seismic Category I cable trays and their supports. 1 Codes and Standards The design of cable trays and their supports conform to. In regions prone to seismic activity, ensuring that your cable tray system is capable of withstanding such events is vital. Copyright @ 1991 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. Requests for copies of this report should be directed to the EPRI Distribution Center, 207 Coggins Drive. An innovative bracing system was designed to provide lateral bracing for the cable tray system. On some occasions the condui hanger rods 12 in or less in length be restrained. The 12 in length was determined based on the natural freq ncy of systems supported on the short hanger rods. 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.
