Functions of standard cable tray seismic supports

Technical overview of seismic cable tray design considerations including bracing splice reinforcement movement accommodation cable retention and support verification. High-seismicity projects place much greater demands on cable tray systems than ordinary installations. This article will explore the importance of seismic resistance in cable trays, discuss when seismic braces are necessary, and help you understand how to make informed. A number of shake table tests on portions of cable tray and conduit systems confirm these observations from past earthquakes and demonstrate that typical configurations perform well under repeated high- level seismic input test spectra on the order of 1. During ...
