1.3.3
Electrical Systems
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The designer must list below all electrical
systems which are to be installed or modified.
**************************************************************************
The following electrical systems shall be installed as required on the
drawings and other sections of these specifications and shall be
seismically protected in accordance with this specification: [_____]

Contractor Designed Bracing
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Retain this paragraph when the Contractor
will design the bracing. The designer will refer
and/or modify the listings above or will list below
the equipment and systems to receive seismic
bracing. Delete this paragraph when all bracing
details and locations are indicated on the drawings.
**************************************************************************
The Contractor shall design the bracing in accordance with TI 809-04 and
additional data furnished by the Contracting Officer. Resistance to
lateral forces induced by earthquakes shall be accomplished without
consideration of friction resulting from gravity loads. TI 809-04 uses
parameters for the building, not for the equipment in the building;
therefore, corresponding adjustments to the formulas shall be required.
Loadings determined using TI 809-04 are based on strength design;
therefore, AISC 325 shall be used for the design. The bracing for the
following electrical equipment and systems shall be developed by the
Contractor: [_____].
1.3.5
Conduits Requiring No Special Seismic Restraints
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Retain only those items found in the project
for this list of conduits that do not require
seismic restraints. For facilities designated as
critical, hazardous, or essential, delete or make
exceptions for conduits which will require seismic
restraint.
**************************************************************************
Seismic restraints may be omitted from electrical conduit less than 64 mm
2-1/2 inches trade size and [_____]. All other interior conduit, shall be
seismically protected as specified.
