Seismic Restraints / Bracing 2

[sv879]

Dear Experts,
One of the project specification calls for seismic restrains/bracing comply with NFPA13 requirement.
Based on my understanding of NFPA 13 seismic requirement, I feel cable type restrains / tension only bracing is the simplest way to get this done.

Kindly share your thought on this.

Also, if anyone have any idea about the 'cable restrains / tension only bracing systems' listed for firefighting service kindly share the details.

It may or may not be the simplest. It depends on your job. But, it is one of the options.
