INTRODUCTION - CONTINUED <br /> Whether performing work within an essential facility or for general commercial, institutional or industrial <br /> construction, the user will find that ISAT's engineered installation details encompass a range of efficient, <br /> cost effective seismic bracing options with specific attention to ease of installation —a problem common to <br /> many projects on which seismic bracing is required. <br /> ISAT Bracing details provide the option of utilizing several forms of seismic restraint brace arm elements <br /> including: 12 gauge channel tube steel cable hanging wire <br /> GENERAL CODE COMPLIANCE <br /> ISAT installation details and engineered bracing tables are suitable for use under the following codes and <br /> requirements: <br /> • 2012 and 2015 International Building Code <br /> • ASCE 7-10, Minimum Design Loads For Buildings and Other Structures <br /> • FEMA P-750, NEHRP Recommended Provisions for Seismic Regulations for New Buildings and <br /> Other Structures <br /> • FEMA 412, FEMA 413, FEMA 414, Installing Seismic Restraints For Non-Structural Components <br /> • TI-809-04 Seismic Design For Buildings, US Army Corp of Engineers <br /> • Department of Defense, Unified Facilities Criteria 3-310-04 (6/13), Seismic Design For Buildings <br /> • NFPA 5000, Building Construction and Safety Code <br /> • American Concrete Institute (ACI)318-11, Appendix D <br /> Exemptions from the seismic design of nonstructural components are defined by ASCE 7-10, Sections <br /> 13.1.4 and 13.6. Additional exclusions may be allowed by the local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). <br /> If so, written confirmation listing the additional exemptions is required from the AHJ or the Engineer of <br /> Record prior to the submittal of ISAT seismic restraint layout drawings. When the Manual is used for <br /> projects constructed under other codes, users are advised to confirm the allowed exclusions. <br /> SEISMIC FORCE FORMULAS <br /> The ISAT Applications, Design and Inspection Manual provides seismic restraint requirements <br /> engineered for use within a broad range of horizontal accelerations. Information required at the beginning <br /> of the process includes project type, location, seismic force variables (below), and the seismic design <br /> specifications or performance criteria. Once these parameters have been determined and certain basic <br /> calculations have been performed, ISAT's Engineered Bracing Tables and Detail Drawings are used to <br /> define the seismic bracing requirements for the suspended utilities. <br /> ASCE 7-10, Section 13.1.1 requires design of the seismic restraints for nonstructural components. The <br /> resultant construction documents are to be prepared by a registered design professional. <br /> 1_11nel <br /> International Seismic Application Technology <br /> 14848 Northam Street,La Mirada, CA 90638 <br /> 877-999-4728 (Toll Free) 714-523-0845(fax) <br /> www.isatsb.com <br /> 0� REV 1 <br /> �° +a f�Fl 10/01/14 <br /> S4710 n Page <br /> 0.2 d' v <br /> or oo- 2012/15 IBC <br />
