Hi,

Where can I find typical loadcases with stress types(SUS,OCC ect) for the B31 series(31.1,31.3,31.4,31.8) codes for offshore pipe analysis.

The client has asked us to recommend load cases and I would like to find any literature which I can refer to while presenting the load cases.

Thanks

NVK

The obvious source for load case guidance is the Caesar II literature provided with the software.

For an excellent independent source, relevant to offshore in particular, look at DNV-RP-D101, STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF PIPING SYSTEMS (2008), page 19 and Appendix G.
