Tip: The following section can be edited by the webmaster as needed. It does not have to be about Whitepapers. You can edit that to be anything. To add, delete or reposition sections of the accordion, use the concentric arrows button in the editing toolbar at the top. When typing or inserting text into an accordion and there is more than one paragraph, you MUST use "shift + enter" between paragraphs. Be sure that you do not accidentally just use the "enter" key to separate the paragraphs. It will look OK but after you publish the page, the text after the 'enter' may no longer be editable.

Practical Guide to Seismic Restraint

TC 2.7 is the cognizant TC for ASHRAE's publication "Practical Guide to Seismic Restraint"
This publication is one of ASHRAE's all time best sellers. It is presently on its second edition, which was published in January 2012.  Click here to purchase this publication.

Practical Guide to Seismic Restraint, is a comprehensive, detailed, and current manual that shows how to design, specify, and install seismic restraints for all mechanical and plumbing systems in buildings to meet the latest code requirements. It provides consulting engineers, architects, project managers, contractors, building officials and equipment manufacturers with information they need on codes as well as specifications, with numerous examples for clear understanding.

In addition to an introduction to the fundamentals of earthquakes and seismic restraints, this second edition includes
   - Updates on buildings codes, including the 2009 International Building Code (IBC) which has been adopted by most jurisdictions; the American Society of Civil Engineers' (ASCE) Standard ASCE 7; the 2010 California Building Code (CBC) and the Canadian National Building Code
   - Information on shake table testing to meet the requirements for certification of equipment for essential facilities
   - A new section on using flexible connectors to help mitigate failure of equipment piping connections (one of the leading causes of system shutdown in earthquakes)
   - Detailed, illustrated examples and calculations on design of restraints for suspended and floor-mounted equipment, ducts, piping, cooling towers, and more
