Seismic Bracing of a Distributed Cable Tray System
Abstract eng: A large telecommunications company built a series of facilities in the Seattle, Washington area. The facilities included large rooms containing cabinets of electronic equipment. A series of cable trays in multiple layers were installed above the equipment rack to provide cabling for the equipment. The cable tray system represented a large distributed mass that was supported between the top of the equipment cabinets and the roof framing. An innovative bracing system was designed to provide lateral bracing for the cable tray system. The bracing system was designed to meet building code requirements in addition to the owner’s design criteria. Recommendations are made for improvements in the design procedures for seismic bracing of nonstructural components.
