Chapter 8 Problem 8-11

Question

The gas pipe line is supported every 20 ft by concrete piers and also lays on the ground. If there are rigid retainers at the piers that hold the pipe fixed, determine the longitudinal and hoop stress in the pipe if the temperature rises 60° F from the temperature at which it was installed. The gas within the pipe is at a pressure of \(600\ \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2}\). The pipe has an inner diameter of 20 in. and thickness of 0.25 in. The material is A-36 steel.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 8 problem number 11 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The gas pipe line is supported every 20 ft by concrete piers and also lays on the ground. If there are rigid retainers at the piers that hold the pipe fixed, determine the longitudinal and hoop stress in the pipe if the temperature rises 60° F from the temperature at which it was installed. The gas within the pipe is at a pressure of \(600\ \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2}\). The pipe has an inner diameter of 20 in. and thickness of 0.25 in. The material is A-36 steel.
From the textbook chapter Combined Loadings you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
