Dear all,
I am calculating longitudinal stresses for buried piping using B 31.8.
As per 833.3 summation of longitudinal stress in restrained pipe is
SL=SP+ST+SX+SB ...............equation-1
But as per CAESAR II user’s guide longitudinal stress in restrained piping is
SL=SP+SX+SB .......equation-2
And CAESAR II results are also matching with equation-2.
If it is true then CAESAR II is not following the code B31.8. Can anyone clarify on it.
