    Finding Tension and Shear Loads of Seismic Snubbers

    Hi, When I want to calculate tension and shear loads of cables at picture below, I am using equations below; Cable Load (Fc = Horizontal seismic force / cos60°) Tension Load (T = Fc x sin60x1,3) Shear Load (V = Fc * cos60x1,3) However, I want to use seismic snubbers to mount my...
