This webinar covers the use of seismic bracing to protect fire sprinkler piping in areas subject to earthquakes and is based on ‘NFPA 13 Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems’. The presentation will discuss location and spacing requirements for lateral, longitudinal and 4-way brace types. Participants will learn about fastener connections, brace alignment requirements and use of branch line restraints. A seismic design layout exercise will be conducted covering structural framing limitations, determining piping seismic loads, and evaluating brace hardware, spacing, methods of attachment. (Also see Part 1 of this training course Understanding Seismic Bracing.)
Learning Objectives:
•Describe the type of braces and their location and spacing requirements
•Understand fastener connections and brace alignment requirements
•Learn how to determine piping seismic loads including the Zone of Influence, piping weight table, and seismic coefficient table
•Explain the use of branch line restraints, hangers and fasteners
