The positive response from the engineering and construction community to this design manual has been overwhelming. We have distributed some 27,000 copies since the first publication in 1999!
The manual was developed in response to the state of California requirement for “pre-approved” seismic restraint hardware and details that would free them from the cumbersome task of reviewing each and every seismic brace on hospital projects. Of course the details and design guidance contained in the book are applicable on any project where seismic restraints are required, and the information quickly spread from California and is now applied by engineers and builders all around the world.
This latest edition is available on line. We have also updated our catalog C.D. with this latest information. If you would like a new C.D. and, or, a hard copy of the manual or a complete catalog, please send us your request.
We believe we have the best seismic design manual available, but no reference book, no matter how complete, can possibly cover every situation. Our highly experienced representative group and our staff of 30 engineers, (including 7 professional engineers, licensed in all 50 states), are here to help you with your design challenges. Give us a call and take advantage of our 53 years of experience. We look forward to hearing from you.
