Supplemental Loads in Main Gas Pipelines due to Multiple Supports
Abstract
In the present paper we consider a main gas pipeline subject to supplemental loads due to various jointing conditions. The main aim of the paper is to develop a numerical analysis of a multi supported main gas pipeline subject to static loads. This analysis was conducted on a pipeline on five supports and with ninety degree elbows on each end. Normal stresses, shear stresses and bending moments were taken into account for maximum stress determination.
