Calculation Condenser Water Pipe Supports Calculations- Block 07

Introduction

Two 400mm pipes are used to handle the condensor water of Block 07(supply/return).Basicaly ,we use three bottom
supports, two at LL3 to each pipe seperately and other at Roof level to hold the total load of pipes.Initialy the brackets at
LL3 are designed to cater the the total weight (W) of a pipe with 1.5 factor to cover the water hammer effect.The bottom
support at Roof level is desined to cater the weight of both water pipes (2W) with 1.5 factor to to water hammer effect.
Then it is consider that 10 other side brackets which are installed at vertical riser are sharing the total weight (W) equally
among them.The design of respective brackets are evaluated under seperate calculations and assumption below.

1.Condensor water riser height (m) 49.45

2.Water density (kg/m3) 1000
3.Linear density of pipe (400mm),sch 40 with water (kg/m) 237.3 (data sheet attached )
4.Tensile strenght of mild steel bolt (N/mm2) 240 (data sheet attached )
5.Shear strenght of milld steel bolt (N/mm2) 160 (data sheet attached )
6.Linear density of C channel 100mmx50mm (kg/m) 9.36 (data sheet attached )
7.Linear density of C channel 200mmx90mm (kg/m) 30.3 (data sheet attached )
8.U Bolt diameter (mm) 20 (data sheet attached )
9.Modulus of elasticity(pa) 2.068E+11 (data sheet attached )
10.Friction factor of steel-steel 0.8 (data sheet attached )

Calculation 01 Bottom support at LL3

Assumptions

1.Take the section A and bend B permanantly fixed

2.LL3 floor is capable of bearing the pressure exert on it through the bottom plate of strut
3.Effect of horizontal forces on supports are neglected.
4.Flanges are permanantly fixed with H-iorn and section A
5. Changes in material properties due to temperature changes/galvanizing are neglected

Calculation

1.Buckling faliar of strut (Please refer figur 01)

Total weight of one pipe (W) 115.11529785 KN

Total weight of one pipe (1.5W) 172.67294678 KN

Hence consider Ixx section for buckling failure.
From euler column formula,

n=0.25 (data sheet attched)

L(supply)= 3400mm
L(return)= 3400mm
consider the L(return) to get the minimum force condition

F= 472.75kN

Total weight exercted on strut 172.67294678 KN

safty factor on the H -iron 472.75/172.68=2.73

2.Compresion stenght of square section-A (Please refer figur 02)

Cross section area = 300x300-276x276 =13824mm 2

Load of the section = 172680/13824=12.49N/mm 2
safty factor at section A = 250/12.49 =20.01

3.Base plate stength evaluation

thickness of plate
As per BS 5950,

tp=thickness of the base plate

w=pressure under the base plate
Pyp=design strenght of base plate
c=146mm (data sheet attched)
tp=22.3mm
Hence select the 25mm thikness plate to base plate

Calculation 02 Bottom support at Roof level

(Please refer figure 03)

Assumptions

1. Neglect the horizontal loads exerted on the support.

2. Pipe to H-Iron, H- Iron to plinth and plinth to floor concrete are permenantly fixed.
3. Load exerted on H-Iron by the pipe is uniformly distributed in the total cross section of H-Iron.
4. U- Bolts are tightned as per the standard clamping force.
5. Changes in material properties due to temperature changes/galvanizing are neclected

Consider the length of 200mmx200mx8mm H-Iron as 1500mm

Consider the most week area of H-Iron for compression failure,

Area of middle section = 1500x8 =12000mm2

Total compression load on the section = 2x172.68 = 345.36 KN
Pressure exert on the section = 345360/12000= 28.78N/mm 2
Compression/Tensile strength of material = 240 N/mm2
Safety factor on compression failure = 240/28.78= 8.34

Calculation 03 side supports

(Please refer figure 04 & 05)

Assumptions
1.Take the bracket as a single unit
2.Neglect the deviation of material properties as per temperature difference and galvanizing
3. Center of gravity of bracket is in point O

Calculation

a. Friction failure at pipe to U-Bolt and pipe to C-Channel

Cross sectional area U Bolt (A) 314.28571429 mm2

Calculate the pre load of U bolt using flowing equation

T=CAS

C=75%
A=section area of u bolt
S=Proof load (85% of yield)
T=Tension of U bolt

T=48.08kN

considering the equilibrium of pipe,

R1=R2

F1 + F2 =W/10 (Number of brackets=10) F2 = W/20

F1 = W/20
(W/10) x200 = F2x400

Equilibrium of U Bolt

R2 = 2T R1 = 2T

F1/R1 = 0.05 F2/R2 = 0.05

For equilibrium F/R ≤Friction factor
