AutoPIPE MSRS Example Tutorial document

For piping systems subjected to multiple support response spectra (MSRS) or independent support motions (ISM), such as the case for piping systems supported on different buildings or at different floor levels, the motion of one set of supports could be quite different from the other. For such systems, the inertia or dynamic response can be analyzed using a uniform response spectrum analysis with a calculated single envelope spectrum for the different support groups.

SOILOVERBURDEN_1

Linear Analysis

Load cases: GR, T1

See AutoPIPE Help> Supplemental Documentation>

Soil Overburden and Seismic Wave Propagation in AutoPIPE Tutorial document.

The analysis of a buried piping system requires special modeling consideration. This is because the restraint (support) provided by soil surrounding a buried pipe is continuous. As AutoPIPE analysis is based on discretely defined points, so an accurate model of the soil's restraint capabilities would require the definition of a number of closely spaced piping points. Each soil point would then require a set of support springs which model the stiffness(es) provided by the soil at that point.

Upheaval Buckling Tutorial document.

In this tutorial, we will review how AutoPIPE’s upheaval buckling calculator can be used to prevent upheaval buckling on buried piping both onshore and offshore. AutoPIPE can use both the initial overbend geometry and the compressive axial force due to loading to produce a recommended soil depth. Users are then expected to update to the new soil depth to prevent upheaval buckling propagation.
