Performance-based optimum seismic design of cable tray system

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

SEISMIC BRACING OF A DISTRIBUTED CABLE TRAY SYSTEM

The cable trays have diagonal bracing between layers of cable trays in the longitudinal direction using proprietary steel members and connected using bolts and clamps.

KINETICS™ Pipe & Duct Seismic Application Manu

Strap cables, either individually or in bundles, to the cable tray at a spacing equal to one half the support spacing to spread the seismic loads evenly to all restraint points.

Why do 150N/m Cable Trays Require Seismic Bracing?

Not all cable trays require seismic bracing. Smaller trays (e.g., 200mm) that contain only a few control or lightweight cables will typically have a total weight below 150N/m.
