Seismic: Understanding Seismic Bracing for Fire Sprinkler Systems (Part 1) - Recorded Webinar Course Details Instructor CEUs/Additional Info Format: Instant Access Recorded Webinar CEUs: Based on 1.5 contact hours of training (see CEUs tab for details) Course Description: (Also see Part 2 of this training course Using Seismic Bracing.) This webinar provides an understanding of seismic bracing to protect fire sprinkler piping in areas subject to earthquakes and is based on ‘NFPA 13 Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems’. The presentation will discuss how to determine when seismic bracing is required as well as provide an understanding of the design objectives for seismic bracing including flexibility, clearance and restraint. Participants will examine the use, location and installation requirements of components such as flexible couplings, seismic separation assemblies, and sway bracing. Sprinkler piping clearance requirements will also be covered for penetrations to the wall, floor, foundation and structure. Finally, pipe loads that must be included in the Zone of Influence (ZOI) and determining vertical seismic load will be reviewed. Learning Objectives: •Describe the design objectives of seismic bracing •Explain how to determine when seismic bracing is required •Understand use requirements for common components •Review pipe loads impacting the Zone of Influence (ZOI) Tracey Bellamy, P.E., CFPS Tracey Bellamy has more than 25 years’ experience in the fire protection community including all areas of the fire sprinkler industry. He has extensive experience with fire suppression system design, fire hazard analysis and fire protection system inspection and testing.

He serves on several NFPA technical and correlating committees including NFPA 13, 15, 16, 25, 30, 30B, 101 and 5000 (building code). Tracey is a member of ASCE, NFPA, and SFPE. Continuing Education (see details under Certificate section below) - International Code Council - ICC Approved for 0.15 CEU's - NICET Continuing Professional Development - Pennsylvania UCC Approved Continuing Education Provider - Texas Commission on Fire Protection Continuing Education Certificate of Completion: Each participant registered, attending the full live training webinar or viewing the post-live recorded on-demand webinar will receive a Certificate of Completion (you must be registered under your name to received a certificate, one certificate per registered participant). This certificate will include the participants name, training subject, date, number of training hours completed and the Fire Smarts name, address and phone number. Certificates will comply with International Code Council (ICC) CEU requirements for ICC approved training courses. Fire Smarts is an approved training provider of the ICC. ICC CEU’s are assigned based on 0.1 CEU per training contact hour. Certificates can be used as supporting documentation for CPD points required for NICET certification. This applies to the “Additional Education” section of NICET Policy #30 on Continuing Professional Development that allows for CPD points for education to advance, broaden and enhance technical knowledge and job skills. Certificates can be used as supporting documentation for credit hours required for re-certification as part of the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code (UCC) program. Continuing education credit is determined as one credit per training contact hour. Certificates can be used as supporting documentation for continuing education (CE) hours for Texas Commission on Fire Protection certifications. Fire Smarts is a continuing education source under "Nationally Recognized Training Providers”. Continuing education hours are determined as one CE hour per training contact hour. Webinar Training This webinar is presented online in a directing and discussion style of teaching.
