*IntroductionWhat is called PIPERACK ?

PIPERACK is a structure whose basic geometry is like a Portal Frame having Multi-tiers which are provided to support piping , cable trays and (with) Fin fan coolers or (Without) coolers.

CLASSIFICATION OF PIPERACK Based on plant layout

ISBL (Inside Bat. Limit) & OSBL(Outside Bat. Limit)Based on Utilities Supported

Non Fin fan & Fin fan pipe rackBased on Materials used for Members

Concrete (Pre cast or Cast-insitu) , Steel & Composite(Steel+Concrete)


*Introduction & LayoutFollowing Preliminary Informations required from Piping

Screen dumps or P65 drawings showing C/s OF Piperack with different tiers & elevations.Line size , Max. unsupported spacing/span ,Piping class & state(Hot or Cold), Flow direction i.e supply or Return , Insulation detailsSpace required for Electrical cable trays.Fireproofing requirement based on line contents for Steel Pipe rack


*Introduction & LayoutBraced bay location:

Brace bay is nothing but it is bay supporting Piping anchor points. Location shall be generally provided by Piping Specialist. For Economy the anchor points for the same line shall be provided at staggering positions.Expansion Bay :

Normally to be decided by Civil/Structural specialist. Normally the same shall be provided at every 40 to 50 Mt.Longitudinal RC beam Elevations :

Normally to be provided in the center of Two tiers.Always Larger diameter of Pipes shall be routed near to Columns.


*PIPERACK LOADING (REFERENCE : 3PS-CA-001)For on-plot pipe racks minimum vertical load of 1.7 kN/m2 on plan area shall be applied at each pipe rack level, unless definitive loads are available from Piping Group. A concentrated load shall be added for pipes 12 in. dia. or larger.)For off-plot pipe racks a vertical load of 2.5 kN/m on plan area shall be applied at each pipe rack level, unless definitive loads are available from piping group. Concentrated loads for 14 in. dia. or 16 in. dia. pipes shall also be considered.


*

The horizontal friction load applied at each level shall be the greater of 7.5% of the total pipe weight or 30% of the operating pipe weight of any number of lines known to be moving simultaneously in the same direction. For on-plot pipe racks the longitudinal beam struts shall be designed for a vertical load of 50% of the load carried by the most heavily loaded transverse beam. This load should not be added to the design load for column or footings. For off-plot pipe racks, longitudinal beam struts shall be designed for vertical and horizontal loads imposed by expansion loops, located by piping group.

Introduction contd.PIPERACK LOADINGS


*PIPERACK LOADINGSAll pipe rack longitudinal beam struts shall be designed for a compression load of 15% of the maximum adjacent column load at beam level.The horizontal load on pipe rack anchor bays shall be the greatest of:-Anchor force from pipe stress (These shall include start-up and shutdown conditions). or7.5% of piping vertical load between expansion joints or40 kN applied uniformly at each level.


*

PIPERACK LOADINGSPipe rack designs shall be checked, when actual pipe loads, friction and anchor forces are known.

*WIND LOADING CALCULATIONSWind loads acting on Pipe racks shall be in accordance with IS:875-III-1987Basic Wind speed : Vb = 50 m/sec Risk coefficient -K1 = 1.08Height & Terrain Factor K2 = Cat.2,Class-A,Table-2,IS875Topographic factor k3 = 1.0Design Wind speed Vz = Vb x K1 x k2 x k3Design Wind Pressure Pz = 0.6 x Vz


*WIND LOADING CALCULATIONSWind force for Pipe rackIndividual membersFrame wiseIndividual Members

* Column & Beam Members(cl.6.3.3.2(b))Normal force=Cfn x Pz x K x b ..Kn/mTransverse force=Cft x Pz x K x b ..Kn/mCfn , Cft = force coefficientsK= Reduction factor for individual members(Table-25,pg.44)b=width of member across wind direction


*WIND LOADING CALCULATIONSWind force for Pipe rackFrame wise (CL.6.3.3.3 & 6.3.3.4)

Solidity ratio= area of members in direct exposure/Overall areaForce coefficients(for 1 Frame) = Reference table:28(pg.46)for more than one frameFrame spacing ratio =c/c dist of frames/least overall dim of frame measured at right angle to direction of windRefer Shielding factor based on solidity ratio & Frame spacing ratio(Refer Table:29 of Pg. No. 46 of IS:875-III)


*WIND LOADING CALCULATIONSWind Force on Fin Fans

F (Total Wind Force) = Cf x Ae x Pz ..KnCf(Max) = Force coefficients =0.95 (Table:4)Ae = Effective Frontal Area


*WIND LOADING CALCULATIONSWIND LOADINGS FOR PIPESThe transverse wind load on piping shall be applied on a projected area equal to the diameter of the largest pipe including insulation where applicable plus 10% of the usable width of the piperack, where the usable width of the piperack is defined as the distance between inside faces of piperack columns less clearance between columns and piping.Where pipe sizes are unknown projected area shall be based on a 12 in. dia. pipe plus 50mm insulation.


*Cable Tray Loads

A minimum cable tray load of 1.0 kN/m2 per tray layer shall be used for electrical/instrument trays.The transverse wind load on cable trays shall be applied on a projected area equal to the height of the tray plus 10% of the net width of cable way dedicated to trays.


*Introduction to UBC-94

International Conference of Building Officials(ICBO) Publishes the family of Uniform Building Codes

There are diff. Types of Uniform codes are available

Uniform Building Code : Volumes- 1,2,3 : The most Widely adopted model Building Code in the United States.

Volume-1 : Administrative , Fire and Life safety , Field Inspection provisions

Volume-2 : Structural Engineering Design provisions

Volume-3 : Material , Testing & Installation Standards


*Seismic loads(As per UBC-1994)

V = Z x I x C / Rw (For Pipe rack structure) V= Design Base shear Z = Seismic Zone factor = for Zone-3 it is 0.3 (Table:16 I) (pg no.34) I = Importance factor = 1.25 (Table :16 K) (pg.
