Working on my best practices for Seismic projects. Does NFPA 13 9.3.5.9.7
("Concrete Concrete anchors shall be prequalified for seismic applications in
accordance with ACI 355.2, Qualification of Post-Installed Mechanical Anchors
in Concrete and Commentary, and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.") apply to anchors for standard supports for the system piping or
does it only apply to sway brace components? Section 9.3.5 applies to Sway
Brace Design, so my gut is to say it does not. I can find nothing in section
9.1 or 9.2 that specifies prequalified anchors are required for standard
supports, but logic tells me that should be a consideration as well. What is
the opinion(s) of the forum? Should I be trying to convince my clients to use
ICC evaluated anchors for all hangers?
