T_bone,
Is your concrete floor 'suspended' or cast on the ground?
A suspended slab can often pose problems due to dynamic movement and deflections.
It's true that seismic movement is hard to protect against but most other external influences (even in big cities) can be minimized especially by wall-mounting.
The de-coupling effect of metal brackets combined with wood-based shelving cantilevered off masonry walls works in all but the most complex of situations.
