Cable Seismic Bracing
Cable Seismic Bracing Cable Seismic Bracing Definition Cable seismic bracing is a structural system used in buildings and other structures to resist lateral forces caused by seismic activity. This system involves the use of cables, which are tensioned to provide stability and prevent structural deformation during an earthquake. The cables work in conjunction with the building’s framework to enhance its overall strength and resilience. Examples High-rise buildings in earthquake-prone areas Bridges and overpasses Industrial facilities Sports arenas and stadiums Applications Cable seismic bracing is commonly used in various sectors, including: Construction and architecture Aerospace engineering Marine structures Retrofitting existing buildings Image Below is an example image of cable seismic bracing:
