SEISMIC RESPONSE OF ELEVATED STEEL WATER PIPE

Research is reported which used a linear computer program and response spectrum approach for seismic analysis to determne the bending moment in a particular elevated steel pipeline for two specific means of support, a steel moment-resisting frame bent system and a steel vertical truss bent system. The details of the study and results are presented. It is noted that the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) procedure for estimating the value of the fundamental period of vibration of the building or other structure, and value of base shear, does not produce satisfactory results when applied to an individual steel bent, whether the bent is of frame or truss construction. These and other study findings are discussed.
