Armstrong is an industry leader in seismically tested suspended ceiling systems so you can design and install with confidence.
Armstrong Ceiling Systems are rigorously and independently tested to resist seismic actions.
Learn more about Armstrong Seismic Solutions and the testing process in our Seisimic Design & Installation Guide.
The purpose of this guide is to provide preliminary information to support the application of Armstrong suspended grid and panel ceiling systems as per the requirements of NZS 1170.5
and AS 1170.4 – Structural Design Actions – Earthquake actions.
The Armstrong Seismic Design Calculator, when applied with the Seismic Design & Application Guide enables correct application of various Armstrong Suspended Ceiling Grid Systems, including PeakForm (Steel), Blue Tongue (Aluminium) and U-Profile (including Axiom Pelmets). Based on specific project information, the Calculator will generate data* on the required:
*Note: This data must be certified by a qualified engineer.
The design of Armstrong suspended ceiling grid systems, bracing and fixing types shown in the Seismic Design Guide are developed in accordance with the following standards:
