Why is it mandatory to install seismic supports and hangers?
Sep 22,2025
In recent years, strong earthquakes have occurred one after another in many places of our country, causing huge losses to the people and inflicting great disasters on the common folk. How to ensure that buildings do not collapse in an avalanche-like manner during earthquakes, guarantee that the structure does not collapse as a whole during earthquakes, and minimize the casualties and economic losses caused by secondary disasters of building structures due to earthquakes has become the top priority in current research on earthquake resistance. The seismic resistance of building mechanical and electrical systems plays a crucial role in the overall seismic resistance of building structures.
Building mechanical and electrical seismic resistance refers to the seismic resistance of mechanical and electrical facilities such as pipelines, air ducts, and cable trays. In simple terms, it is the seismic resistance measures of the "water, electricity and air" system. At the very beginning, in China, the protection of mechanical and electrical facilities mainly focused on their load-bearing function, and seismic design was basically not taken into account, which brought a great hidden danger to the system safety. The measures and technologies that should be adopted as listed in the "Code for Seismic Design of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Buildings" are defined as seismic support systems. Based on load mechanics and centered on seismic action verification, various components or devices that firmly connect pipelines, air ducts, cable trays and other mechanical and electrical facilities to the building structure that has undergone seismic design, limit the displacement of mechanical and electrical engineering facilities, control their vibration, and transfer the load to the supporting structure. The main purpose of its seismic support is safety, that is, to minimize the loss of life and property caused by earthquakes. In simple terms, such products are also called seismic support hangers.
Once seismic facilities, namely seismic supports and hangers, are added to the suspension system, during an earthquake, the disorderly shaking can be greatly reduced through the lateral and longitudinal seismic supports. Under the condition that the overall seismic performance of the building is intact, it can ensure that the suspension system does not fall, greatly reducing the casualties and economic losses caused by secondary disasters.
Therefore, seismic design of building mechanical and electrical engineering is an indispensable and crucial part of the seismic resistance of building structures. Seismic supports and hangers can provide reliable protection for building mechanical and electrical engineering facilities during earthquakes, withstand seismic forces from any horizontal direction, and significantly reduce the damage caused by earthquakes to building mechanical and electrical engineering facilities.
