In this context I have have a question referring to earthquake.
What about the allowable loads of a pumpnozzle with earthquake loads.

I have calculated a three pump system and the loads in all my loadcases are o.k.

Only with earthquake-loads one force or one moment at each nozzle is max. 35% bigger then the allowable loads.

I think that this is not critical for the nozzles but I am interested in the opinion of the stress community.

Regards
