Seismic Bracing & Force Protection | Gripple
We offer a pre-engineered, time-saving solution which braces and secures non-structural equipment within a building to minimise damage from earthquakes or seismic events.
The tray should be able to resist the lateral and vertical forces imposed by the earthquake without collapsing or failing. This requires careful selection of materials, proper sizing of components, an...

We offer a pre-engineered, time-saving solution which braces and secures non-structural equipment within a building to minimise damage from earthquakes or seismic events.
Every brace is designed to resist earthquake loads in tension and they are not restricted in length as are compression braces. Standard braces are extremely flexible, lightweight and are offered in precut
The seismic performance levels of cable tray systems are presented according to current seismic design codes. A performance-based optimum seismic design procedure for cable tray
Review of typical conduit and cable tray support systems in the earthquake experience and shake table test data base indicates that many overhead mounted support types are inherently ductile for lateral
Delegated Design: Engage a qualified professional engineer, as defined in Section 014000 "Quality Requirements," to design cable tray supports and seismic bracing.
Our team of experts can help you select the best cable tray series for your application, as well as designing your seismic bracing layout to ensure it meets applicable building codes and standards.
Cable trays and their supports are designed to maintain structural integrity. The stresses are maintained within the allowable limits as specified in subsection 3f.3.3.
As with cable restraints, floor- or roof-mounted electrical distribution support systems will normally involve a box frame that supports the system (single or multiple runs) with some kind of a trapeze bar.
This article discusses the importance of seismic resistance for cable trays, detailing when seismic braces are necessary, the factors that affect seismic resistance, and how to ensure your
This study presents not only material and geometry frequently used for cable tray but also the formula to estimate the maximum cable load which can
One goal of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) is to encourage design and building practices that address the
