Hi, Richard and John.

I donīt understand the answers.

I will explain what I think about this matter.

If we look at B31.1----------->

Socc=0,75iMa/z + 0,75iMb/z + Pdo/4t < k SH


0,75iMa/z-----> Doesnīt depend on temperature
0,75iMb/z-----> Doesnīt depend on temperature
Pdo/4t -------> Doesnīt depend on temperature

At this point we agree.

But when we compare the addition of this values with SH,I donīt agree with you.

Richard, you say that the value chosen is the lowest one. Where have you read it in B31.1?. I think,the value that must be compared to, is the value of basic allowable material stress at the hot temperature BUT in the case that we are analysing.

I'm so confused,

regards.
