Thanks guys. @LittleInch I'm not worried about deleterious VIV since the forcing frequency due to the river velocity is much lower than the natural frequency of my pipe. I guess what I am wondering is if the pipe will still experience some vortex shedding loads even though the forcing frequency...
If a horizontal pipeline passes through a flow of water, I know there will be a lateral flood load on the pipeline. This can be calculated using ASCE7-16 Section 5.4.3. Will there also be uplift load due to the hydrodynamic effects (I am not talking about buoyancy; I have already accounted for...
Can anyone explain the difference between ASD load combinations and Service load combinations? I am using ASCE-7-16 LRFD strength load combinations for my design, and trying to set up service load combos as well. I have always been under the impression that ASD is not the same as service, but...
I'm using CMAA 74-15 to design a single girder under running projecting beam bridge crane structure. It is completely enclosed by a larger existing structure, so no wind loads. Does anyone have any advice on how to separate out the vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces from the given Load...
