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
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.
