or downward acceleration due to earthquake in accordance with

ICBO UBC. (Note: Z = seismic zone factor, I = site coefficient, and

Cp = horizontal force factor)

ATTENTION:

In the following options, adjust the Z, I, and Cp factors as required for the specific project.

********************

Option one. If the equipment is supported on walls, on the roof,

or from the roof of the building, use:

H = 0.75 (Based on Z = 0.5, I = 1.0, and Cp = 2 x 0.75)

Option two. If the equipment is flexible and supported on legs

and is anchored directly to the existing concrete slab on grade,

use:

H = 0.50 (Based on Z = 0.5, I = 1.0, and Cp = 2 x 0.67 x 0.75)

Option three. If the equipment is designed as a rigid box without

support legs and is anchored directly to the existing concrete

slab on grade, use:

H = 0.375 (Based on Z = 0.5, I = 1.0, and Cp = 0.75)
