reinforcements (internally) to prevent permanent
deformation, dislocations, separation of components,
or other damage, which would render the equipment
inoperative for significant periods of time
following a seismic event and to meet the specified
requirements (such as boilers, chillers, cooling
towers, etc., which consist of a number of
individual components built into an assembly by the
manufacturers).
**************************************************************************
The following specific items of equipment: [_____] to be furnished under
this contract shall be constructed and assembled to withstand the seismic
forces specified in TI 809-04, Chapter 10. Each item of rigid equipment
shall be entirely located and rigidly attached on one side only of a
building expansion joint. Piping, duct, electrical conduit, etc., which
cross the expansion joint shall be provided with flexible joints that are
capable of accommodating displacements equal to the full width of the joint
in both orthogonal directions.
Chillers
Air-Handling Units
Surge Tanks
[_____]
1.3.2
Nonrigid or Flexibly-Mounted Equipment
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The appropriate lateral force coefficient,
based on the guidelines in Section 13080 SEISMIC
PROTECTION FOR MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT for nonrigid
or flexibly-mounted equipment, should be calculated
and inserted in the second bracketed blank.
**************************************************************************
The following specific items of equipment to be furnished: [_____] shall
be constructed and assembled to resist a horizontal lateral force of
[_____] times the operating weight of the equipment at the vertical center
of gravity of the equipment.
1.4
SUBMITTALS
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Submittals must be limited to those necessary
for adequate quality control. The importance of an
item in the project should be one of the primary
factors in determining if a submittal for the item
should be required.
A "G" following a submittal item indicates that the
submittal requires Government approval. Some
submittals are already marked with a "G". Only
delete an existing "G" if the submittal item is not
complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor's
Quality Control system. Only add a "G" if the
submittal is sufficiently important or complex in
context of the project.
