Abstract

AbstractThis study evaluates the design and analysis of pipe rack structures. Pipe rack is the most important structure in oil and gas, refineries, petrochemical projects, power plants and many other industrial structures. For most loads, the pipe racks were designed as primary critical loads and pipe loads. In this report, the analysis of the pipe rack with sufficient loads and suitable configuration was performed using various software such as STAAD Pro, ANSYS and SAP in this study. This study also aims to analyse structures considering pipe and pipe rack interaction in order to solve current issues. As per the European and Italian codes, the design and analysis of pipe rack, for both static and dynamic, were done in linear and nonlinear systems. The behaviour of pipe rack can not be judged by nonlinear static analysis. Inquisitive results reveal that scaling method was coordinated with contemporaneous model and was relevant for the design of the supporting structure.KeywordsPipe rackDead loadLive loadWind loadPipe empty loadPipe full loadOil and gasRefineriesPetrochemical projects and Power plants
