What's the difference between traditional bracing and seismic bracing?

The difference between seismic support and traditional support;

1, different functions

The traditional support is mainly a support system with gravity as the load; Seismic bearings mainly bear the horizontal load of pipelines.

2. Different materials

Traditional brackets are easy to corrode and rust, and generally need maintenance and painting after two or three years; The galvanized surface of the seismic support has good corrosion resistance and less later maintenance.

3. Different design principles

When the earthquake happens, the traditional support swings too much laterally, which is easy to damage the adjacent facilities, damage the building electromechanical engineering system and increase the difficulty of later maintenance. In the form of installation, the anti-seismic support adopts the triangle stability principle, which comprehensively bears the longitudinal force and lateral force during the earthquake, and changes the dynamic characteristics of the pipeline system from flexibility to rigidity, which can not only make the equipment and pipeline stronger, but also reduce the secondary disasters caused by the earthquake.

Extended data:

Application field of seismic support

1, municipal/commercial and residential applications

Commercial venues, real estate buildings, large supermarkets, high-end hotels, bank data centers, bridges.

2. Traffic applications

Airport application, subway application, railway application.

3. Industrial application

Standard industrial workshop application, automobile industry application, cigarette factory/electronic workshop application.

4. Energy application

It is used in petroleum/chemical industry, offshore platform, hydropower industry, sewage treatment plant, nuclear power/thermal power, coal mine industry, substation and solar energy.

5. Special/professional applications

Elevated floor application, electrical instrument application, steel structure application, embedded application, power grid application.
