Dear friends,

I have been trying to calculate the stress, force and moments in thermal expansion case at the support locations manually but i gone through few good books like Kannappan, kellon etc to get the concept and formulas. even though the results coming in CAESAR II and my calculated results are different. Please suggest me the good book to know the concept of piping in thermal expansion case.
