ASCE/SEI 7-10 exempts electrical raceways, conduit, cable trays, and bus ducts from seismic bracing requirements in Seismic Design Category C if Ip =1. High-seismicity projects place much greater demands on cable tray systems than ordinary installations. During an earthquake, cable trays are exposed not only to gravity loads and normal service loads, but also to lateral movement, vertical acceleration, vibration, and building drift. Depending. ASCE 7 + IBC set the U. IEEE 693 is for test-qualified utility and substation assemblies, often through shake-table testing. This guide serves EPC engineers, MEP contractors, procurement teams, and site inspectors working on industrial plants, data centers, metro and tunnel projects, and commercial buildings.
