Seismic Construction Handbook
Seismic Design Category The requirements for a suspended ceiling are determined by the buildings Seismic Design Category. Determination of the Seismic Design Category is complex and must be determined by a Registered Architect or Professional Engineer and should be found in the construction docu-mentation.
