Danb,
Happy to see a prompt responce from you...Your explanation is right..that i know...
But what about the cases starting from case L17: L7-L2 (OCC) & so on...
They are just sesimic and wind loads without weight of pipe. How you can justify this...
And one more thing i want to ask you is...am getting high loads in ANCHOR points 200 Kpa in axial direction(U3,Zdirection). How can i eliminate this load without distributing this loads to someother supports. There is no anchor bays in existing pipe rack and it is not allowed to accomadate more than 80 Kpa on a single support at anchoring. Can any one have the answer for this without using any special supports(like Bracings).
And client is not interested in giving another loop where it increase the cost of the project[4extra 3D elbos(24") reqd for one line(tot 8lines)]...so give me the alternate solution. The below is the related post where i couldnt find the answer.
