But which one is best? The answer is largely dependent on the nature of the project at hand. When considering seismic bracing solutions, here are some of the key things to consider: Differential movement between the ceiling and the building structure. The weight of the ceiling, and therefore magnitude of seismic loads. Design of the system to withstand horizontal seismic loads. Transferring these loads back to the building structure through seismic bracing. There are 3 common methods used to seismically brace suspended ceilings Source Link: https://bvtengineering.com/news-resources/seismic-bracing-of-suspended-ceilings-3-common-methodsnbsp https://www.onestoptrade.co.nz/services/3389/bvt-engineering
