Seismic has changed DRASTICALLY from what we used to do. The SE will
have to provide you the structural design category and the Ss for the
project. Hopefully it is SDC of A or B and you don't have to worry
about anything.
But, it is definitely no longer 40' / 80' and 4 way every change in
direction.

Structural design notes sheet is no help, we are sending an RFI for
clarification. I haven't had to worry about seismic locally for about 10.5
years so I am not as well versed as I should be.

Subject: Re: Fredrick MD, Seismic Zone?
What does the structural design notes sheet provide? Is it Seismic Category C
or higher. If so, bracing is required on fire sprinkler systems. I don't
think the seismic maps really apply any longer. You need to know the Seismic
Design Category, then you need the Ss values so you can calculate your bracing.

Can someone with experience in the area tell me if Seismic bracing is required
in Fredrick Maryland? (21701) According to the maps I found online at appears
to be the same seismic category as central PA, but not having worked in the
area before I wanted to be sure there wasn't some local requirement.
