AGI seismic fixture clamps

DoD Compliant

AGI's Seismic Fixture Clamps' (SFCs) code compliant design are ideal for buildings that must meet Department of Defense (DoD) requirements.

The SFC meets the requirements of DoD UFC 4-010-01 as detailed below.

DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-010-01 Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings, 10/08/2003, updated 01/22/2007

  • Section 2-3.3: Minimize Hazardous Flying Debris. In past explosive events where there was no building collapse, a high number of injuries resulted from flying glass fragments and debris from walls, ceilings, and fixtures (non-structural features). Flying debris can be minimized through building design and avoidance of certain building materials and construction techniques. ……. B-3.6 Standard 15. Overhead Mounted Architectural Features. For all new and existing buildings covered by these standards, ensure that overhead mounted features weighing 14 kilograms (31 pounds) or more (excluding distributed systems such as suspended ceilings that collectively exceed that weight) are mounted to minimize the likelihood that they will fall and injure building occupants. Mount all such systems so that they resist forces of 0.5 times the component weight in any horizontal direction and 1.5 times the component weight in the downward direction. This standard does not preclude the need to design architectural feature mountings for forces required by other criteria such as seismic standards.
     
  • Section B-4.5 Standard 20: Equipment Bracing. Mount all overhead utilities and other fixtures weighing 14 kilograms (31 pounds) or more (excluding distributed systems such as piping networks that collectively exceed that weight) to minimize the likelihood that they will fall and injure building occupants. Design all equipment mountings to resist forces of 0.5 times the equipment weight in any horizontal direction and 1.5 times the equipment weight in the downward direction. This standard does not preclude the need to design architectural feature mountings for forces required by other criteria such as seismic standards.

The lighting fixture is suspended to the ceiling grid by Seismic Fixture Clamps (SFC) at all four corners to ensure that it is earthquake safe.

The SFC's patented Unified Ceiling Module design prevents the lighting fixture from detaching from the ceiling grid and disintegrating.
