Structural Design of Steel Pipe Support Structures（结构设计的钢管支撑结构）.pdf

Structural Design of Steel Pipe Support Structures By Kasi V. Bendapudi, P.E., S.E. Structural steel pipe supports are extensively utilized in industrial and manufacturing facilities. Lack of uniform industry standards for this topic leads to each organization ® adopting its own engineering standards, at times, without a clear understanding of the underlying theoretical concepts and the cost implications. This is the first of a two-part series of articles on the behavior and design of steel support structures for pipes. This article (Part 1) discusses the effects of ambient temperature changes, expansion joint requirements, and an introduction to design loads. Part 2 concludes with the continu- ation of design loads, structure stability concepts and detailing E for stability requirements. t h g i r y p o C
