To avoid wind and windborne debris damage to rooftop ductwork it is recommended that ductwork not be installed on the roof see figure 5.
The curbs should be anchored to structural steel concrete as fallows.
Bolts should be with nuts and washers.

If the roof curb will be mounted on a new building it can be assembled at any convenient location and installed as soon as the roof support members are in place.
The goal is to match or exceed the seismic roof curb design value referred to as the ss value.
Become familiar with the roof curb installation procedures.
If ductwork is installed on the roof it is recommended that the gauge of.
Ss is the mapped maximum credible earthquake five percent dampened spectral response acceleration parameter at short periods as defined in asce 7 10 section 11 4 1.
Use tack welding or other suitable fastening.
It is comprised of fully welded galvanized steel and ships ready for jobsite installation.
Curb must be capable of supporting seismic loads of two options.
The additional requirements are detailed on each stamped submittal drawing.
Bolts should be placed in every hole provided in the base plate of the curb.
Additionally seismic requirements are not fulfilled by just ordering a seismically stamped roof curb.
Curbs solidly braced or bolted directly to the building structure without vibration isolation.
The attachment of the curb itself also needs to be designed and specified.
