Composition Of Seismic Bracing Systems

Seismic bracing systems primarily consist of anchors (components connecting to the concrete), reinforcement members, seismic connectors, and seismic diagonal braces; these systems form a seismic support assembly that connects securely to the building structure. Seismic braces are generally categorized into lateral seismic braces and longitudinal seismic braces (note: lateral seismic braces feature diagonal bracing parallel to the pipe's cross-section, whereas longitudinal seismic braces feature diagonal bracing perpendicular to the pipe).
