Suspended Tee Grid Seismic Bracing Detail

Elements

About this detail

Suspended acoustical ceiling grids require seismic bracing in seismic categories D, E, and F utilizing twelve gauge tie wires running parallel to both main runners and cross tees. A vertical strut compression post extends to the structure above at twelve feet on center each way, starting a maximum of six feet from the edge of the ceiling around the perimeter. EMT tubing is not permitted for use as the compression post. Splay wires wrap around the grid intersection and tie back securely to the overhead structure.
