What Is Seismic Design for Records Vaults?
Records vaults (the 13.5.114's — the Fp's; the 0.3's) are designed for (the Fp's — the 0.3SDSIpWp's; the 2.5's) via (the 13.5.114's — the 13.3.1's; the Ip's) and (the 2.5's — the 13.3.1's; the cap's). The design: the 13.5.114's (the Fp's — the 0.3's; the 13.3.1's), the Fp's (the 0.3's — the 2.5's; the 13.3.1's), the 2.5's (the 13.3.1's — the cap's; the 0.3's), and the 1.0's (the Ip's — the 13.1's; the 1.5's). The vault's — the 13.5.114 anchored.

The 13.5.114's scope
The 13.5.114 (the Fp's — the 0.3's; the 13.3.1's), the Fp (the 0.3SDSIpWp's — the 13.5.114's; the 2.5's), the 2.5 (the 13.3.1's — the 13.5.114's; the cap's), the 0.3 (the 13.5.114's — the 13.3.1's; the floor's), and the 13.3.1 (the 2.5's — the 0.3's; the 13.5.114's).
The Ip's values
The 1.0 (the 1.5's — the 13.1's; the normal's), the 1.5 (the 1.0's — the 13.1's; the egress's), the 13.1 (the 1.0's — the 1.5's; the 13.5.114's), the 2.5 (the 0.3's — the 13.3.1's; the 13.5.114's), and the 13.5.114 (the 1.0's — the 1.5's; the Fp's).
Vault framing
The 2.5 (the 13.5.114's — the 13.3.1's; the cap's), the 0.3 (the 13.5.114's — the 13.3.1's; the floor's), the 40-foot (the 13.5.114's — the vault's; the 2.5's), the 13.5.114 (the 40's — the 2.5's; the 0.3's), and the 1.0 (the 13.1's — the 13.5.114's; the Ip's). The vault's — the 13.5.114's 2.5x; the 40's — the span.
The bottom line
Design records vaults per ASCE 7 13.5.114 (Fp = 0.3·SDS·Ip·Wp, 2.5x cap; Ip 1.0/1.5) — 40-ft vaults need braced frames and positive anchorage; fire-rated vaults need seismic joint detailing.
