Western Square Seismic Safety TrayWestern Square's Seismic Safety System, was tested at UC Berkeley’s Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center’s (PEER) Earthquake Simulator Lab on the largest shake table in the United States.
How It Works
- In a barrel stack, the stainless steel tray attaches underneath the bottom rack.
- The tray is placed on a concrete epoxy coated floor with the plastic slides face down.
- In an earthquake, the tray will slide against the movement of the earth.
- This decreases sway and increases the stability of the stack.
