SEISMIC INFORMATION

  • There are several important reasons why seismic bracing a crucial factor is to consider:

    Legal requirement – as defined in AS 1170.4 and in accordance within the National Construction Code (NCC) which has been adopted in all states.

    Safety & Asset Protection - Ensuring that expected earthquake design performance objectives are met not only reduces the risk of damage to the non-structural components itself, but also reduces the risk or damage to adjacent or closely located items from falling, overturning, swinging and impacting, leaking, etc. In addition, proper engineering reduces the life-safety risk to building occupants and, for critical facilities, provides the operability assurances necessary for immediate occupancy. “Critical facilities” would include hospitals, fire stations, police stations, and other such facilities.

  • RIKTA can provide you with exactly what you need - RIKTA will ensure that the bracing meets the seismic design requirements of the non-structural components, in regards to weight loads of the types of connection.

  • RIKTA can provide full engineering services through Gripple Australia, including PE stamped drawings, BIM modeling and clash detection, coordination and site reviews, and budget estimating, as well as all of the seismic bracing and isolation products your project requires. We will work with the engineer and contractor to provide the most effective bracing and restraint solutions, providing you with complete beginning-to-end seismic services.

  • Yes, RIKTA rigid bracing systems are designed to brace non-structural equipment and components on both new or retrofit installations.

  • RIKTA seismic bracing systems are complete pre-engineered systems, requiring minimal preparation on site.

  • Structural components include roofs, floors, beams, columns, foundations concrete or masonry walls…basically anything integral to the structure itself. Non-structural components include architectural elements, mechanical and electrical equipment and supplies, life-safety systems, and other building contents. Non-structural components are critical for the proper functioning of a building after an earthquake, and bracing these components ensures reduction in life-safety risk to building occupants. RIKTA products and engineering services are targeted to non-structural components and equipment.
