Responsibilities of the Registered Design Professional / Structural Engineer of Record
The Registered Design Professional (RDP) is the engineer executing the design of the seismic bracing system.
The RDP delivers the complete seismic bracing design to the Structural Engineer of Record (SEOR) for the
OSHPD project.

1. It is the responsibility of the RDP to be familiar with all requirements for seismic bracing.

2. The Registered Design Professional shall:

A.   
  

brace the distributed system for the loads/forces imposed on them by the distributed
system as well as all other loads.

B. Provide any supporting structure required to support/brace the forces, in addition to

all other loads. The design of any required supporting structure shall be submitted to
OSHPD as part of the original construction documents, or as a deferred submittal item;
deferred submittal items shall be listed on the cover page of the original construction
documents.

C. Verify that the installation is in conformance with the 2013 California Building Code
and with the details shown in this pre-approval. Verify that the brace locations, braces,
  
    
information shown on this pre-approval document.

D. The RDP shall select the proper products from this OPM based on the combined

 
   
OPM-0295-13
attachment, designers shall also calculate the gravity forces (dead load and vertical
seismic forces), and the combined effects with lateral and overturning forces as
required per the governing code.Y. Kikumoto
Jeffrey

3. The RDP shall determine the spacing and layout for the required bracing. The user shall determine
03/02/2020
the maximum horizontal, vertical, and axial force component of earthquake demand loads. The RDP’s
calculations must take into consideration the increase in loads caused by construction tolerances.

4. The SEOR shall verify that the supporting structure is adequate for the forces imposed on it by the
supports, attachments, and braces installed in accordance with the pre-approval in addition to all
other loads.

5. The SEOR shall forward the supports, attachments, and bracing drawings (including approved
amended construction documents for supplementary framing (where required) to the discipline
in responsible charge with a notation indicating that the drawings have been reviewed and are in
general conformance with the preapproval and the design of the project.

6. The SEOR shall verify the substrate to which the seismic brace components are attached meet the
requirements of the approved evaluation reports (ERs). Testing of post-installed anchors shall be
performed in accordance with the 2013 CBC §1913A.7.

 Channel - Beam Loading

PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING THE BEAM LOAD CAPACITY (GALLOW)

METHOD 1
 Determine the Maximum Allowable Uniform Load (Vallow or Dallow) for the selected channel at the span between
supports from pages 4b.1 – 4b.6. Vallow 

are provided in the tables on pages 4b.1 - 4b.6.

 Multiply the value from Step 1 by the Unbraced Length Factor (LV). LV can be found on pages 4b.1 – 4b.6.

L2 > L1
Use Unbraced Length Factor (LV) for maximum length (L2 in this scenario)

L L

 Subtract the channel weight (Wchannel) from the Step 2 value. Wchannel is found on pages 4b.1 – 4b.6, note 3.

 Multiply the value from Step 3 by the Load Factor from the table below that matches the loading condition.
 Trapeze supports will typically be condition 1, 2 or 3.

For Strength Limitation: Beam load capacity (Gallow) per Equation 4b.0-1 below
Equation (4b.0-1): Gallow = (( Vallow * LV ) – Wchannel ) * 
 
 
 Beam load capacity (Gallow) is the lesser of Equations 4b.0-1 and 4b.0-2
Equation (4b.0-2): Gallow = (Dallow - Wchannel) * 

METHOD 2
Gallow may be calculated using the Allowable Moment Mallow and basic beam load calculations. Mallow can be found on
pages 4b.1 – 4b.6, note 4.

Notes:
1) Vallow , Dallow , Mallow and Wchannel account for “T”, “WT” and “HS” piercings. No additional pierced hole reductions are necessary.
2) The above procedure is for bending along the 1-1 axis, when the channel slot is facing up or down. For bending along the 2-2
axis, section properties are provided on page 4c.1.

Notes:
1) Design is controlled by seismic forces. Non-seismic forces such as gravity are outside the scope of this OPM.
2) Hanger Rod at seismic brace locations is subjected to gravity loads as well as lateral and vertical seismic
loads and has been designed for such combined loading in compliance with California Building Code,
ASCE 7-10, and standard structural steel practices and are not subject to the hanger rod diameters

 Single Pipe Seismic Restraint Design Example

SINGLE PIPE SEISMIC RESTRAINT DESIGN EXAMPLE

Example Scenario:
A 4” diameter schedule 40 steel pipe is being supported below the fourth floor of a seven story poured in-place concrete
building. The floor and roof structure are comprised of a 10” thick concrete slab (f’c = 4,000 psi). The floor to floor height
for each floor is 10’-0”. The pipe is vertically supported at 10’-0” on center maximum. The short period spectral
acceleration, SDS , per the provided construct documents is 1.2. The component importance factor is, IP = 1.5.
Note: Reference Pages 3a.1 and 3a.2 for transverse and longitudinal bracing details.
Recommendation: Use 1/2” sized hanger rods and anchors wherever possible as there are more fittings available at this size.
Step 1: Determine FP
Per ASCE 7-10 Table 13.6-1 (reference Page 1i.5):
aP := 2.5 RP := 6 and O := 2.0
For piping in accordance with ASME B31, including in-line components, constructed of high or limited deformability
materials, with joints made by threading, bonding, compression couplings, or grooved couplings.

And SDS := 1.2 IP := 1.5 z := 30 ft h := 70 ft

Per ASCE 7-10 Chapter 13, Eq 13.3-1 to 13.3-3 (reference Page 1i.2):

0.4 aP · SDS · (1 + 2 · hz ) · WP
FP (WP ) := OPM-0295-13 0.56 · WP
RP
IP
Jeffrey Y. Kikumoto

FP is not required to be taken as greater than (Per Page 1i.2)

03/02/2020
FpMax (WP ) := 1.6 SDS · IP · WP 2.88 · WP
and FP shall not be taken as less than (Per Page 1i.2)

FpMin (WP ) := 0.3 SDS · IP · WP 0.54 · WP

Governing FpLRFD (WP ) := Fp (WP ) 0.56 · WP
And FpASD (WP ) := 0.7 FpLRFD (WP ) 0.39 · WP
Whereas, the vertical seismic force EV , EvLRFD (WP ) := 0.2 SDS · WP 0.24 · WP
And EvASD (WP ) := 0.7 EvLRFD (WP ) 0.17 · WP

SINGLE PIPE SEISMIC RESTRAINT DESIGN EXAMPLE (CONTINUED...)

Step 2: Determine Weight of Pipe WP

Per OPM Appendix Page A1.1, the self weight of a 4” diameter insulated schedule 40 pipe filled with water, including
fitting allowance of 15% pipe weight (1.15 x 10.8 + 5.5 + 1.8 = 19.7 plf).

WP (ltrib ) := 19.7plf · ltrib

Step 3: Determine Seismic and Gravity Forces

Seismic force at each transverse brace:
Per OPM Page 1m.1, the maximum span for a 4” diameter insulated schedule 40 pipe when FpASD = 0.39 WP < 0.5WP
is 37’-0”, use 30’-0”. lT := 30 ft.

Thus WP (lT ) = 591 lbf and

FpASD (WP (lT )) = 230.5 lbf
Gravity and vertical seismic forces at the vertical hanger connection with a brace:

lv := 10 ft (Vertical hangers are spaced at 10’-0” on center)

WP (lv ) = 197 lbf
EvASD (WP (lv )) = 33.5 lbf
 is the brace angle from horizontal at the vertical hanger. Choose a brace angle of 45°.
OPM-0295-13
 := 45°

Vertical Force from Horizontal
Seismic Force Through Brace

Maximum compression in vertical hanger CVert

CVert := (-0.6) WP (lv ) + EvASD (WP (lv )) + FpASD (WP (lT )) · tan() = 145.8 lbf

For anchorage design where O is required by governing code:

TVerto := WP (lv ) + EvASD (WP (lv )) + O · FpASD (WP (lT )) · tan() = 691.5 lbf

Step 4: Determine attachment to structure per Section 7.

As stated above, the supporting structure is a 10” thick concrete slab.
Per OPM Page 7a.1: Single (1) 1/2” diameter expansion anchor with 3 1/4” embedment is acceptable for a maximum
horizontal FpASD force = 612 lbf.

FpASD (WP (lT )) = 230.5 lbf < 612 lbf. Therefore OK at brace.

SINGLE PIPE SEISMIC RESTRAINT DESIGN EXAMPLE (CONTINUED...)

Per OPM Page 1h.4: Single (1) 1/2” diameter expansion anchor with 3 1/4” embedment is acceptable for a maximum
vertical TVerto force = 2,003 lbf.

TVerto = 691.5 lbf < 2,003 lbf. Therefore OK at hanger. 

Step 5: Determine brace member, fittings and connections per Sections 4 & 5.
Braces to be at  := 45° Try P3810-050 for the brace fitting.
Per OPM Page 5c.1: A P3810-050 fitting is acceptable for a maximum horizontal FpASD force = 985 lbf.
FpASD (WP (lT )) = 230.5 lbf < 985 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
The pipe will be supported 4’-0” maximum from support structure. Provide lateral braces at = 45°.
4 ft
Therefore, the maximum lateral brace length is approximately
cos() = 5.657 ft, use 6’-0”.
Try P1000 for the brace member. Per OPM Page 4a.1: A P1000 at a max length of 6’-0” is acceptable for a maximum
horizontal FpASD force = 1,470 lbf.
FpASD (WP (lT )) = 230.5 lbf < 1,470 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
For the connection of the brace fitting to the channel beam, try Detail 5a.2-1. Per OPM Page 5a.2: The connection
is acceptable for a maximum horizontal FpASD force = 2,375 lbf [use “Slip Resistance” FP for transverse brace].
OPM-0295-13
FpASD (WP (lT )) = 230.5 lbf < 2,375 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
Jeffrey Y. Kikumoto

Step 6: Determine Pipe Clamp per Section 5.

Per OPM Page 5d.1, the P1121 (4”) Pipe Clamp is acceptable for a maximum horizontal FpASD force = 360 lbf [CT for
03/02/2020
transverse] and a TVert force = 2,090 lbf [CV for vertical].
FpASD (WP (lT )) = 230.5 lbf < 360 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
TVert = 461 lbf < 2,090 lbf. Therefore OK at brace.

Step 7: Determine vertical hanger rod, stiffener and connection to channel per Sections 5 & 6.
For connecting Rod to Channel, try Detail 5a.7-1. Per OPM Page 5a.7: The connection is acceptable for a maximum
vertical TVert or CVert force = 2,065 lbf when used with a 1/2” threaded rod and a Wolf Washer (Per Table 5a.7-2).

Note: This capacity also includes the vertical capacity of the back-to-back channel as shown on Pages 3a.1 and 5a.7.

TVert = 461 lbf and CVert = 145.8 lbf < 2,065 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
Per OPM Page 6d.2 Note 1, the length of the threaded rod (4 ft) exceeds 30”, thus Rod Stiffeners are required.

Per OPM Page 6d.3, the maximum acceptable compression force for a 1/2“ diameter rod with stiffener and bolt
spacing at 24” and maximum rod length not exceeding 13.0’, FpASD = 338 lbf.

FpASD (WP (lT )) = 230.5 lbf < 338 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
Therefore, a rod stiffener is required with a clip spacing (L) of 24” maximum.
Example Notes:
If the capacity is exceeded at Steps 4 through 7, the design should be modified such that braces are spaced closer and
the demand force is reduced to meet ALL of the brace component capacities.

Per OPM Page 6d.3, the maximum acceptable compression force for a 1/2” diameter rod with stiffener and bolt spacing
at 24” and maximum rod length not exceeding 13.0’, FpASD = 338 lbf.

FpASD (WP (lL )) = 461 lbf > 338 lbf. Therefore not OK at brace.
OPM-0295-13 
Since the above stiffener and bolt spacing did not have enough
Jeffrey Y. capacity,
Kikumotoreevaluate with a shorter spacing.
Per OPM Page 6d.3, the maximum acceptable compression force for a 1/2” diameter rod with stiffener and bolt spacing
at 18” and maximum rod length not exceeding 9.8’, FpASD = 601 lbf.
03/02/2020
FpASD (WP (lL )) = 461 lbf < 601 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
Therefore, a rod stiffener is required with a clip spacing (L) of 18” maximum at the longitudinal brace locations. This
spacing can also be used at the transverse brace locations as determined in Step 7, since the 601 lbf capacity exceeds
the 245.86 lbf load.

TRAPEZE SUPPORTED COMPONENT(S) SEISMIC RESTRAINT DESIGN EXAMPLE

Note: This procedure can be used to brace pipe, conduit, tube, cable tray or duct supported by a trapeze. Where
applicable, commentary has been provided throughout this procedure for systems not used in the example scenario.

Example Scenario:
Two (2) - 4” diameter schedule 40 steel pipes and one (1) - 6“ diameter schedule 40 steel pipe are being supported with
trapeze below the fourth floor of a seven story poured in-place concrete building. The floor and roof structure are comprised
of a 10” thick concrete slab (f’c = 4,000 psi). The floor to floor height for each floor is 10’-0”. The pipe is vertically
supported at 10’-0” on center maximum. The short period spectral acceleration, SDS , per the provided construct documents
is 1.2. The component importance factor is, IP = 1.5.
Note: Reference Section 3 for transverse and longitudinal bracing details (Pages 3c.1 and 3c.2 used in this example).
For pipe, conduit and tube, refer to pages 3c.1 & 3c.2
For rectangular duct, refer to pages 3d.1 & 3d.2
For cable tray, refer to pages 3f.1 & 3f.2
Recommendation: Use 1/2” sized hanger rods and anchors wherever possible as there are more fittings available at this size.

Step 2: Determine Weight of Pipes WP

Per OPM Appendix Page A1.1, the self weight of a 4” diameter insulated schedule 40 pipe filled with water, including
fitting allowance of 15% pipe weight is 18.2 plf, and that of an 6” diameter schedule 40 pipe filled with water is
34.9 plf. Therefore, the weight of the three pipes together is,
WP (ltrib ) := (2 x 18.2 + 34.9) plf · ltrib 71.3 · ltrib plf

Note: Reference Appendix Section A1 for self weights of all components.

Step 3: Determine Seismic and Gravity Forces

Jeffrey Y. Kikumoto
Seismic force at each transverse brace:
For multiple pipes supported by a trapeze, the maximum spacing of the lateral braces is controlled by the one with the
03/02/2020
least spanning capacity, which is the 4” pipe in this example. Per OPM Page 1m.1, the maximum span for a 4” diameter
insulated schedule 40 pipe when FpASD = 0.39 WP < 0.5WP is 37’-0”. However, considering the anchorage capacity,
a 20’-0” spacing is chosen.

Thus lT := 20 ft and WP (lT ) = 1,426 lbf

FpASD (WP (lT )) = 556.1 lbf

Note: 1) For no-hub cast iron pipes: Follow transverse and longitudinal brace spacing and other guidance on page 1i.2,
note 7.
2) For cable trays: Cable trays shall be approved on a project specific basis, or preapproved by OSHPD. Spacing limits
set by the manufacturer shall not be exceeded. Cable tray brace spacing shall be approved or preapproved by
OSHPD.

Trapeze beam to span 24”, conservatively assuming that load is concentrated at center. Try P1001WT with slots sized for

Gallow := 0.5 · (3,330 · 1 - 3.78 ) lbf = 1,661.2 lbf
Therefore P1001WT beam is OK at brace. 
Note: For rectangular duct, if the duct is support by two channels (top and bottom) per pages 3d.1 & 3d.2, GVert may be
divided by 2, reducing the load through each channel. Note that back-to-back channels as used in this example
may not be used with attachment “Option 1” on pages 3d.1 and 3d.2.

Example Notes:
If the capacity is exceeded at Steps 4 through 8, the design should be modified such that braces are spaced closer and

horizontal FpASD force = 525 lbf [CL for longitudinal].
FpASD ( 34.9 plf · 30 ft) = 408.3 lbf < 525 lbf. Therefore OK for the 6” pipes. 
Select a Pipe Clamp for the 4” Pipes. Per OPM Page 5d.1, the P1121 (4”) Pipe Clamp is acceptable for a maximum
horizontal FpASD force = 730 lbf [CL for longitudinal].
FpASD ( 18.2 plf · 30 ft) = 212.9 lbf < 730 lbf. Therefore OK for the 4” pipes. 
Determine vertical hanger rod, stiffener and connection to channel per Sections 5 & 6.
As stated above, longitudinal braces will be attached adjacent to the rods at both ends of the trapeze. For both other sides,
try Detail 5a.6-1. Per OPM Page 5a.6: The connection is acceptable for a maximum vertical TVert or CVert force = 3,000 lbf
when used with a 5/8” Threaded Rod. OPM-0295-13
TVert = 1,112.5 lbf and CVertJeffrey Y.lbfKikumoto
= 351.5 < 3,000 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
Per OPM Page 6d.2 Note 1, the length of the threaded rod (4 ft) exceeds 30”, thus Rod Stiffeners are required.
03/02/2020
Per OPM Page 6d.3, the maximum acceptable compression force for a 5/” diameter rod with stiffener and bolt spacing
at 24” and maximum rod length not exceeding 9.6’, FpASD = 859 lbf.

FpASD (WP (lL )) = 556.1 lbf < 859 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
Therefore, a rod stiffener is required with a clip spacing (L) of 24” maximum.

Example Notes:
If the capacity is exceeded at Step 9, the design should be modified such that braces are spaced closer and the demand force
is reduced to meet ALL of the brace component capacities.

ROUND DUCT SEISMIC RESTRAINT DESIGN EXAMPLE

Example Scenario:
A 36” diameter, 16 gage spiral galvanized steel round duct, in compliance with SMACNA standards, is being supported below
the fourth floor of a seven story poured in-place concrete building. The floor and roof structure are comprised of a 10” thick
concrete slab (f’c = 4,000 psi). The floor to floor height for each floor is 10’-0”. The duct is vertically supported at 10’-0” on
center maximum. The short period spectral acceleration, SDS , per the provided construct documents is 1.2. The component
importance factor is, IP = 1.5.
Note: Reference Pages 3e.1 and 3e.2 for transverse and longitudinal bracing details.

Step 1: Determine FP

Step 2: Determine Weight of Duct WP
Per OPM Appendix Page A1.8, the self weight of a 36” diameter 16 gage spiral galvanized duct is,

WP (ltrib ) := 30.0plf · ltrib

Step 3: Determine Seismic and Gravity Forces
Seismic force at each transverse brace:
Per OPM Page 1m.3, the maximum span for a 36” diameter round duct is 30’, use 30’.
lT := 30 ft.
Thus WP (lT ) = 900 lbf and
FpASD (WP (lT )) = 351 lbf
Gravity and vertical seismic forces at the vertical hanger connection with a brace:
Split steel straps are used to clamp the duct as shown on OPM Pages 3e.1 and 3e.2.
Two (2) - vertical hangers connecting to the split steel straps are spaced at 10’-0” on center, each vertical hanger is
assumed to resist 2/3 of the duct weight based on actual eccentricity. Therefore,

Step 4: Determine attachment to structure per Section 7.
As stated above, the supporting structure is a 10” thick concrete slab.
Per OPM Page 7a.1: Single (1) 1/2” diameter expansion anchor with a 3 1/4” embedment is acceptable for a maximum
horizontal FpASD force = 612 lbf.

FpASD (WP (lT )) = 351 lbf < 612 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
Per OPM Page 1h.4: Single (1) 1/2” diameter expansion anchor with a 3 1/4” embedment is acceptable for a maximum
vertical TVerto force = 2,003 lbf.

TVerto = 936.2 lbf < 2,003 lbf. Therefore OK at hanger. 

Step 5: Determine brace member, fittings and connections per Sections 4 & 5.
Braces to be at  := 45° Try P3810-050 for the brace fitting.
Per OPM Page 5c.1: A P3810-050 fitting is acceptable for a maximum horizontal FpASD force = 985 lbf.

Therefore, the maximum lateral brace length is approximately

Try P1000 for the brace member. Per OPM Page 4a.1: A P1000 at a max length of 6’-0” is acceptable for a maximum
horizontal FpASD force = 1,470 lbf.
FpASD (WP (lT )) = 351 lbf < Jeffrey

KikumotoOK at brace. 
Step 6: Determine vertical hanger rod, stiffener and 03/02/2020
connection to channel per Sections 5 & 6.
For connecting rod to steel duct strap, refer to Page 3e.1.

TVert = 585.2 lbf and CVert = 265 lbf

Per OPM Page 6d.2 Note 1, the length of the threaded rod (4 ft) exceeds 30”, thus Rod Stiffeners are required.
Per OPM Page 6d.3, the maximum acceptable compression force for a 1/2” diameter rod with stiffener and bolt spacing at
21” and maximum rod length not exceeding 11.4’, FpASD = 441 lbf.

FpASD (WP (lT )) = 351 lbf < 441 lbf. Therefore OK at brace. 
Therefore, a rod stiffener is required with a clip spacing (L) of 21” maximum.
Example Notes:
If the capacity is exceeded at Steps 4 through 6, the design should be modified such that braces are spaced closer and
the demand force is reduced to meet ALL of the brace component capacities.

Step 7: Continue to design for longitudinal braces.
Continue to design the longitudinal braces, following steps similar to Steps 3 through 6.

Split steel straps are used to clamp the duct as shown on OPM Pages 3e.1 and 3e.2.

Two (2) - longitudinal braces will be used, one on each side of the split steel strap at the hanger rod. Each longitudinal
brace is assumed to resist 2/3 of the duct seismic loads based on actual eccentricity.
