About Uniform Loads

Dear all,
IF i having a uniformly distributed load,Can anyone tell me how I can use this uniformly distributed load and uniform load in G's i.c effect of earthquack similtaneously.


Thanking you.

In a given input file, your uniform load can be in either (a) force/length, or (b) g's. You can't support both units in the same input file at the same time.

dear sir,
If i having alarge pipe partially full of some material.Then there willl be a uniformly distributed load and if i aslo to be considered g's.Then how can i approche for the analysis to get accurate result.

Regards,
Ukundu

Fill "partially full of some material" as fluid density or insulation density with thickness to take care of it's weight.

suppose I having a pipe carying some dust,while carrying 30% of the cross-sectional area assumed to be filled by diposition.This 30% will be as UDL and aslo i have to considered g's.
Generallly we not do stress analysis of dedusting systen but i want to know just how much sustained load will occur in support.Pipe not having any insulation.
Now i can do another thing where 30% of cross-sectional load(due to deposition) to be converted to equivalent indulation thickness with proper insilation desity.
If I approah in this way will it be correct?

Yes

I would say that depends on whether or not you want the mass of the dust to be a part of the g load. If you model your dust as insulation, then it will be included in your g load.

If was just checking dusty support loads, I would run a second analysis with dust as a uniform load.
