Hello Everyone,

Any buddy can help me to what branch type to be select in CAESARII Input at tee connections for FRP lines analysis using BS7159 Code.
For example 18x18 equal tee in the SIFs & TEEs type will be 3-Welding ? For metallic piping by selecting tee type as welding will take SIFs according to code calculations but what if the same we apply for FRP piping whether it will be calculated according to BS7159 or user has to enter a seperate value for each tee connections ?
Please clarify

I believe using BS 7159 in CAESAR II will associate the Welding Tee with the BS 7159 Moulded Tee and the Reinforced Fabricated Tee with the BS 7159 Fabricated Tee.
You can review the SIF calculations outside of your CAESAR II model. Click on the Analysis tab of the Main Menu Ribbon. There, click on SIFs @ Intersections.
