<p>A seismic support module (10) for supporting communications equipment on a raised floor includes a plurality of anchoring feet (20) secured to the structural concrete floor and a plurality of support columns (30) having generally horizontal top plates on one end thereof extending up from the anchoring feet (20). Attached to the top plates are a plurality of tie rails (40) and run rails (50) forming a horizontal frame for supporting the communications equipment and the raised floor tiles. The outermost support columns (30) are preferably braced by a plurality of diagonal cross-braces (60). The anchoring feet (20) have a base plate, preferably a plurality of vertically extending sockets, and a reinforcing plate between the sockets. Preferably, the anchoring feet (20) are interchangeable with each other as are support columns (30), tie rails (40), and run rails (50). The support module (10) of the present invention is relatively simple to install and provides a seismic rated support for a portion of a raised floor that can be mass produced and does not need to be custom designed for each location. In adition, several support modules (10) can be chained together to form a larger support structure (200) capable of supporting several large pieces of communications equipment.</p> |
