Hello,
I have one query regarding Blast analysis,
In NORSOK standard L-002,
fot the blast load case, allowable stress is the minimum of 2.4 Sh or 1.5Sy where Sy pipe material yield stress
IN caesar how to increase the allowable stress valve.
I have added occasional factor as 2.4 in wind load case .is it right?
Say if Sh:115 MPa
Now if I add occasional load factor as 2.4 then allowable stress valve becomes 2.4*115=276 MPa.
So is it ok?
Waiting for your expert opinion
Regards,

Using an occasional load factor of 2.4 should work, but verify this.

Thanks!
