SECTION 13080
SEISMIC PROTECTION FOR MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT
09/03
**************************************************************************
NOTE: This guide specification covers the
requirements for seismic structural elements for
protection of mechanical, electrical and
miscellaneous equipment. This guide specification
will be used in conjunction with Sections 15070A
SEISMIC PROTECTION FOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT and
16070A SEISMIC PROTECTION FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
Comments and suggestions on this guide specification
are welcome and should be directed to the technical
proponent of the specification. A listing of
technical proponents, including their organization
designation and telephone number, is on the Internet.
Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as
a Criteria Change Request (CCR).
Use of electronic communication is encouraged.
Brackets are used in the text to indicate designer
choices or locations where text must be supplied by
the designer.

PART 1
GENERAL
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The intent of this specification is to
provide for adequate resistance to lateral forces
induced by earthquakes for listed mechanical,
electrical and miscellaneous equipment and systems.
The design seismic lateral forces are in addition to
the "normal" gravity forces (weight) acting on the
components of a system.
Seismic protection will no longer be based on the
guidance provided in TM 5-809-10 which includes
seismic zone, importance factors, and building
