Hi,
In an elastic-plastic analysis, the required factored load combinations from table 5.5 of ASME Sec VIII Div2 part 5, the table has temperature (T) as one of the load cases in a load case combination e.g. 0.88*beta*(P+Ps+D+T).
So, when factoring the temperature, I have used the factor on the coefficient of thermal expansion. Is there any other way to factor the temperature? or is this factoring reasonable?
Thanks.
