Support Design Forces form CII Output - 03/09/09 02:20 AM
We generally do pipeline/ OSBL stress analysis. Our pipeline alignments are not in X-Z direction Y-Axis is up. It is generally having some angles w.r.t to X-Z axis.
We are doing above ground pipeline stress analysis. When we specify the guide as 2mm gap then we see some values more than 2mm in X-Z direction.
For the guide forces we had to refer the restraint report not the restraint summary.
My query is for the foundation design shall we give the restraint summary to civil engineer for supports design, We are facing problem because the alignment is not along the axis but is offset configuration.
Either shall we use restraint report for support design or we rotate the model in true x-z plane to get the axial & lateral forces in true x-z axis.
Please advice
