Hi Moorthi,

Good day!
My analysis of your line is that, it bend up due to restriction of expansion... you can check the restrain acting parallel to the pipe if you found out that the force present in that location is extremely big then the statement above i said is true. about the allowable displacement, i agree w/ Sir Loren explanation.
Correct me if im wrong...
Regards!
