Abstract:
A support and seismic bracing system for suspending conduit and the like includes support means for carrying the weight of the conduit, relative movement of the conduit being limited by a seismic anchor secured to the conduit and to a structural surface in offset relation about equidistant along the axis of the conduit, radially outwardly from the conduit and vertically toward the structural surface, a seismic brace being interconnected between the supported conduit and the anchor to resist relative movement in any direction of the conduit, the seismic brace preferably extending linearly toward the center of mass for the suspended conduit and effectively acting as a fixed-end rigid column connection.
