SESIMIC & WIND LOADS - 03/20/11 06:23 AM
Dear Analysers...
I had a problem with my system while considering Wind & Sesimic.
My system is not converging unless if i consider Y restraints on the existing pipe rack. The pipe is running nearly 450M long run having only one expansion loop(lug is 4.5M & Width is 20M)of 700M total length.
Any have i made it run with +Y restraints. But the problem is, the code stress ratio is getting more(nearly 8lakhs) and lifting is more than 800mm. The i/p's are everything clear. I am getting this much deflections only in Wind and Sesimic.
The Forces(Fy) in Design & Operating condition is acting towards downside. And i dont know how the lifting is coming too high. And the loads at the anchor points on both side of the loop is more than 6tons. Can any1 plz assist me to get out of this issue. From last one week am fighting againest this issue.
And ill send my model if any1 is interested.
Thanks in advance.
