STEEL PIPE LINE

BENDING MOMENT & SUPPORT REACTION

1. Data
Pipe ID, Di = 1.2 m
Pipe OD, Do = 1.224 m
Pipe wall thickness, t = 0.012 m
3
Weight of steel pipe = 78.5 kN/m
3
Weight of water = 10 kN/m
Pipe span = 12 m

2. Weight

Weight of pipe = 3.6 kN/m

Weight of water = 11.3 kN/m

Assume dynamic load factor = 1.2
Weight of water including dynamic effect = 14 kN/m

Total linear weight = 17.2 kN/m

3. Moment & Reaction (At intermediate supports)

Maximum Force at one support = 206 kN

Maximum Slope angle = 26 deg.
Minimum Slope angle = 0 deg.

Maximum axial Force, Ra = 90 kN

Maximum circumferential Force, Rc = 206 kN

Maximum bemding moment = 0.11*F*L

(Beam theory, BS 8110) = 272 kN.m
