Problem
What Qu value is considered in SACS when evaluating grouted tubular joints? Table 4.5-1 of 21st Ed. RP2A or Table 7.4 of 22nd Ed. RP2A has some guidelines. Does SACS consider the references?
Solution
If you “Review” the Joint in Post View, then in case of a grouted joint, the output mentions that the Qu for axial compression is set to a large number. This has been done to ensure that the API references are maintained.
Below snap from a sample model provides the note.
