Frequently Asked Questions

What is seismic strut used for?  

Seismic strut is a code-compliant type of metal framing channel used in seismic bracing systems. It can be combined with a variety of braces, nuts, and other fittings to support suspended components like pipes, conduit, and cable trays. Seismic strut is designed to withstand the forces experienced during seismic events to keep MEP systems secure.

Does G-STRUT® Seismic meet building code requirements?  

Yes. G-STRUT® Seismic components are manufactured for use in seismic bracing assemblies that comply with ASCE 7-16 standards. Code compliance depends on the proper engineering and installation of each project. View our G-STRUT® Seismic catalog for seismic coefficients and specifications for each G-STRUT® Seismic component.

How is seismic bracing different from standard strut?  

Standard strut channel is suitable for general support and framing applications where seismic load is not a design factor. For high-risk structures, seismic framing channel provides stability and resistance to dynamic and lateral forces. Code-compliant seismic bracing systems require additional components compared to standard strut channel framing systems.

Where is seismic support required?

Seismic support is necessary for Seismic Design Categories E and F. Design requirements are determined by the IBC and ASCE 7 standards using factors including occupancy, soil conditions, life-safety systems, and other details. Areas with severe seismic hazard risk include parts of Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington.

Can G-STRUT® Seismic be used in non-seismic regions?  

Yes. While seismic bracing systems are required by code in certain regions and structures, G-STRUT® Seismic components can be used in areas of lower risk as well. G-STRUT® Seismic offers enhanced support in strut assemblies for MEP and other critical systems, even if not required by code.
