I used these codes in a seismic zone. I’m not familiar with any local
amendments. Are you asking about building code importance factor for seimic
design to be applied to tank design?
Best.

What do the specs say you're supposed to use in place of c-clamps?

I think Ryan is onto the issue. If it is in the specification, request
clarification from the engineer. A large percentage of time, the engineer
is not clear enough when the specification is written.

Ryan,
That was my thinking. We always us the restraining straps on our hanger
assemblies.
Mike,
The products I'm using are listed. This is a requirement from the client
side.

Possibly an outdated specification.
I have not heard of any issues with properly installed listed C-clamps.
Thanks,

Hanger attachments are being confused with bracing attachments.
- NFPA 13 (2019) Section 18.5.11.10 explicitly DOES NOT allow C-clamps
used for seismic bracing structural attachments with orwithout restraining
straps unless specifically listed for such use.
- Section 18.7.1
They have to be FM approved and/or UL listed.
What type of C-Clamps are planning on using?

Does anyone know the reasoning Why you would not be allowed to use C-Clamps
for your hanger attachments?
I've had a couple of specs have this requirement pass by my desk recently.
