Structural Components & Sway Bracing

NFPA 13
9.3.5.1.2

The Structural Components to which bracing is attached shall be determined to be capable of resisting the added seismic loads.

This is not normally in the scope of Fire Sprinkler Contractors Work, but it does need to be verified that the Structural Engineer has taken this additional load into account.
