A seismic resistant equipment platform is provided which may be used to stabilize equipment during a seismic event or to provide selective seismic stability within a conventional raised floor. The disclosed seismic resistant equipment platform comprises an array of pedestals interconnected by equipment mounting plates. Each pedestal includes a base which is mounted to a subfloor, a column which is mounted to the base, and a pedestal head which is mounted to the column. Furthermore, each pedestal head is configured to accept a portion of an equipment mounting plate as well as various stringers which may be used to support conventional floor panels. The pedestals are constructed to have sufficient stiffness to operatively transfer the stiffness of the subfloor to equipment mounting plates interconnecting such pedestals. Further, equipment mounting plates are fabricated to have sufficient stiffness to warrant treating each equipment mounting plate as a rigid body so that pedestal stiffnesses add when pedestals are interconnected by equipment mounting plates.
