Seismic load

Seismic load

Seismic load

(OP)
Dear All,

   Do equipment manufacturers encounter seismic criteria during their design process? On the other hand, does a same compressor send to Japon with high earhtquake probability comparing those send to European countries with less probability?

RE: Seismic load

What kind of equipment?  Where will it be used?



Please see FAQ731-376 for great suggestions on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips Fora.  See FAQ158-922 for recommendations regarding the question, "How Do You Evaluate Fill Settlement Beneath Structures?"

RE: Seismic load

typically, the manufacturer would consider it only if the client specified / requested it.  Unless this is a major piece of equipment, it is probably left up to the design engineer.

RE: Seismic load

hi there!

I agree with "cvg", the problem can be put in terms of seismic isolation. When somoeone buys a specific equipement the structural engineer/designer must design a bearing for the structure that can isolate/resist the action induced on the equipement due to a seismic action.
