The main roles of seismic supports and hangers include the following aspects:
Improve seismic resistance: Seismic supports and hangers can reduce the vibration amplitude of equipment inside buildings during earthquakes by using high-strength materials and well-designed structures, thereby reducing the risk of damage to equipment and buildings caused by earthquakes. This role is achieved through shock absorption and seismic isolation, that is, when an earthquake occurs, seismic supports and hangers can absorb and disperse seismic energy and reduce the impact of vibration on equipment and building structures.
Ensure safe operation of equipment: Seismic supports and hangers can stably support and fix various pipes, air ducts, cable trays and other facilities to ensure that these facilities will not be damaged or displaced during an earthquake, thereby ensuring their normal operation and service. This is crucial to maintaining the normal functions of buildings, such as the stable operation of water supply and drainage, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and other systems.
Reduce secondary disasters: In an earthquake, if the pipes, wires and other facilities inside the building are not effectively fixed, they may fall off due to vibration, causing casualties. Seismic supports and hangers effectively connect these facilities to the main structure of the building, preventing them from falling off and falling during an earthquake, thereby reducing the occurrence of secondary disasters.
Extend the service life of equipment: Seismic supports and hangers can protect facilities such as pipelines and wires inside the building from damage by earthquakes, avoiding equipment damage and replacement caused by earthquakes, thereby extending the service life of these facilities.
Improve overall stability: Through layout and installation, seismic supports and hangers can change the dynamic characteristics of the pipeline system, making the pipeline system from soft to rigid, and improving its overall stability and shear resistance in earthquakes. In this way, when an earthquake occurs, the response of the pipeline system will be significantly reduced, reducing secondary disasters caused by pipeline damage.
Reduce energy consumption and noise: The reasonable design and installation of seismic supports and hangers can also help reduce the energy consumption of buildings. For example, by reducing the vibration and damage of equipment in an earthquake, the energy
