Crenlo offers IBC kits designed to anchor Emcor’s 10 Series or G Series frames in sizes up to 45U high, meeting life safety requirements for protecting building occupants from falling objects in the event of an earthquake as outlined in the International Building Code.
Each kit contains four frame spacers and four seismic brackets that require the appropriate concrete anchoring hardware to meet local codes. Crenlo’s engineers can work directly with customers and/or their engineers to provide site-specific installation recommendations.
Each bracket is aligned with a hole in the lower frame gussets. The frame spacer is also aligned with the hole in the gusset and sits underneath the frame gusset to stiffen the connection between the bracket, gusset, and the floor. The concrete stud anchor is then used to secure the frame assembly to the floor.
The following instructions show how to properly assemble the IBC kit.
The following documents provide structural calculations for seismic anchorage. Use them to help determine which type of anchor to purchse in conjunction with the IBC Tie Down Kit. For more information visit https://www.us.hilti.com
