Good morning.
I hope you help me. after so long I return to visit this site and write. I would have a question to ask you. I'm running a seismic calculation for water pipe anchors. a simple example (if needed I can make a more detailed one). the regulations in my case previews to use a transversal acceleration pairs to 0.6g and I previewed the positions of the supports as from normative. with regard to the calculation of horizontal stress (the development of piping and strictly horizontal in spite of the figure, 40 m against 2 m vertical), how should I act? In theory the upper supports should not carry horizontal loads to allow the thermal expansion of the pipes. should I consider the strength of 0.6g * the weight of the whole structure more the moment exercised by the tubes above? In this way I find myself that the anchors should resist impressive forces and in my experience I have never seen huge supports.
