RE: Seismic compression struts

I believe the compression posts come from ASCE's reference to "CISCA for Zones 3 & 4" for installations in D-F buildings. I don't have a copy of that to verify current requirements.

Does the CBC 2007 (IBC2006) still require seismic compression struts for suspended ceilings? I cannot find it in the code?

 

Thanks
