Seismic Performance Testing<br />

Natural disasters happen. But when there is<br />

no time for downtime, planning ahead can<br />

make the world of difference.<br />

Piping systems located in earthquake-prone<br />

areas are likely to be exposed to forces and<br />

deflections beyond normal static conditions,<br />

and the results can be catastrophic without<br />

proper design accommodation.<br />

<strong>Victaulic</strong> components can accommodate seismic forces<br />

in the following piping system conditions:<br />

• Code-regulated systems with<br />

adequate earthquake bracing<br />

• Unregulated systems with little<br />

or no earthquake bracing<br />

• Seismic joint connections between<br />

independently moving sections<br />

• Buried systems<br />

Seismic swing joint utilizing <strong>Victaulic</strong> mechanical piping components<br />
