Abstract
An apparatus and method for the seismic stabilization of loads supported by hanger rods are presented. The apparatus includes a compression member that is placed in parallel to a hanger rod and which spans, or substantially spans, the distance from the load, which may be a conduit, and the supporting structure. This apparatus may be retrofit onto existing load-bearing hanger rods, or may be included at the time of installation of the conduit. Methods of installation are described that allow for providing additional structural integrity without disassembly of existing supports.
