As eurocode seem to define two windloadings in §5.1 of EN1991-1-4:
-Wind forces on structures, e.g. for overall wind effects
-Wind pressures, e.g. for cladding, fixings and structural parts
Does anybody has an idea of what windspeed/pressure is required to be used when checking an API tank...
Does anybody has an explanation on the outcome of SIF being different when calculating it using the FESIF module and nozzle pro module of PRG?
For example following input:
- Run 6" sch 40S
- Branch 2" sch 40S
- Branch angle 45°
Output:
Nozzle pro SIF for the run : ii=1.6 ; io=0.5 ; it=1.69 ...
Does someone has an idea what the maximum is that i can bend a cold formed bend, bearing in mind that there is no opportunity to check for wrinkles or minimum wall thickness.
Or is the answer simply no additional bending stress/strain allowed.
Any reference to known acknowledged codes might...
Hi everybody,
Is it required to check the strength of the welds, per paragraph 5.7.2, for shell nozzles when they comply with the figures an tables of API650?
Thanks
Hi all,
Does any one knows why so little guidance is provided by ASMEB31.3 for checking against buckling?
Only §302.3.1(c) seems to provide a maximum being the maximum allowable in compressions not greater than in tension as per appendix A. It is also stated that consideration shall be given to...
Hi everybody. I have a question that's been bothering me for quit some time. An extra point of view on things would be appreciated. If a pipeline is installed in a trench it is going to be manipulated with cranes and the pipeline will be bent. The bending stress can be estimated but compared to...
