  • An exacting wall-penetration pipe analysis
    Koc, Pino
    Conventional analysis methods for piping systems have incorporated many conservative assumptions. Some of these assumptions can be abandoned by employing advanced analyses, thus allowing for higher ... loads, which can lead to further uprating of the system without physically intervening with it. This paper shows the procedure of uprating the design seismic load of an existing pipeline through advanced analyses. First, it was discovered that the seal between the pipe and the wall in fact represents a support which is even stiffer than an engineered, purposely built support. Secondly, analyses demonstrate that a pipeline built of thin wall pipes can sustain significant lateral deformation (ovalization and indentation), imposed by seismically induced relative displacements between the buried pipe and building wall penetration, without breaching the pipe wall. This finding is supported by the fact that the pipe passed the flattening test. In the pipeline qualification procedure, the stress state in the dented pipe wall is compared with the stress state during the flattening test. All relevant stress indicators (stress intensities) at the uprated loading state were smaller than allowed by the applicable code or obtained from the flattening test; thus, the pipeline qualified for uprated seismic conditions.
