Foreword

Guidance on good installation practice for seismic bracing and anchoring isavailable from many diverse sources. For ease in use, this report is a compilation

of references to this information: existing codes, standards and best practices for

installation of equipment and mechanical systems to mitigate post earthquakedamage. It includes readily available information on sprinkler systems,

combustible liquid systems, piping, electrical equipment, and mechanical

equipment from U.S. and selected international sources.

1. Introduction and Background

There is range of equipment and mechanical systems in buildings that are vulnerable to

seismic damage. The failure of fire protection systems; the release of fire protection

agents, fire protection liquids, or flammable or combustible liquids or gases; and thecreation of fire hazards are all forms of property damage which can occur during an

earthquake. Equipment damage mitigation strategies include the provision of restraint,

for example anchors and bracing systems, or other design details such as flexible joints.

Vulnerable equipment types include sprinkler systems, combustible liquid systems,

piping, electrical equipment, and mechanical equipment. Each of these types has unique

requirements for installation of seismic bracing, anchors, and specific methods for

protecting equipment from earthquake damage. The goal of this project was to identify

and compile available guidance in the literature into a readily accessible form. Note that

this is not a complete list of references; however an attempt was made to identify thosereadily available publications of most relevance to the topic.

2. Standards and Guidance Compilation Process

An extensive search of published standards, publications, and the academic literature was

conducted and references were compiled.

Each publication was assigned a unique index number. To assess the most current

version, all of the guidance is sorted by date. To aid readers who are seeking information

about a specific type of equipment, the guidelines are grouped by equipment type. Some

documents in the list are available on line; some are available through the NFPA library;

and some require purchase.

For each publication, the list includes the title, specific page or chapter numbers where

relevant, date of publication, a brief summary or comment about the information, and

links on where to find it.

The compilation has twelve sections. Other than the final two sections, each section is for

a different type of equipment: sprinkler systems, combustible liquid systems, medical gas

piping, refrigerant piping, cable trays, transformers, tanks, ovens/furnaces, general

equipment, and other equipment. Sprinkler systems and combustible liquid systems are

divided into subcategories. The sprinkler systems section is divided into sprinkler system

piping, fire pumps, and sprinkler system storage tanks. The combustible liquid systems

section is divided into combustible liquid tanks and combustible liquid piping. The


8/21

Page 4 of 17

general equipment section includes information that is not specific to a particular type of

equipment.

Section 11 contains selected literature published by manufacturers/other private sector

organizations. This list was subjectively chosen, and includes those private sector

guidelines thought to be useful to readers.

Section 12 contains relevant publications which are not guidelines for seismic protection

or do not belong in any of the above categories.

Section 13 contains selected, readily available, international publications which may be

of interest.

Many guidelines are listed several times, since they are applicable to more than one type

of equipment. The page numbers or chapter numbers are provided for each specific type

of equipment covered in the document.

Some guidelines are specifically designed for a specific type of site or project, such as a

nuclear facility; this is explained in the comments.

It should be noted that even though types of equipment are separated by section in the

compilation, readers may need to look at multiple sections for one equipment installation.

For example, for ovens, an installer may need to refer to the sections for ovens, exhaust

stacks, suction tanks, piping, fire pumps, etc.
