I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction on this. I'm doing a VA Clinic in California. Somehow I didn't notice that there were OSHPD requirements but I am having trouble finding information that clearly identifies the different hanging and bracing requirements that we'd need to abide by.
I know in the past we had to use clevis hangers, rod stiffeners, use solid strut for all seismic bracing etc, but back then I was a fitter and it was on my plans already. Where is there guidance on the acceptable hanging types to meet OSHPD requirements? I appreciate your help. Posted anonymously for discussion. Discuss This | Submit Your Question | Subscribe

Most of the bracing manufactures have pre approved OSHPD bracing cutsheets. The cutsheets will have many types of bracing configurations. Just pick the one what works for you. You will still have to do bracing calcs to verify loads. Also be aware of vertical forces on your braces.
