The seismic calculations I have indicate that the racks are placed directly on slab. Do I need new calculations if my racks are to be placed on computer flooring?
No. Philips provides our customers with seismic anchorage information relative to product weight, mounting bolts(s) location, bolt(s) tension and shear forces. It is the responsibility of the customer’s engineer of record to ensure that the structure itself can support the weights and forces shown on the calculations. Therefore, seismic anchorage information relative to a specific site (i.e. computer flooring) is the responsibility of the customer’s engineer.
