Block 07

Calculation sheet

Two 400mm pipes are used to handle the condenser water of Block 07(supply & return). We use a base platform at LL3 to cater the total weight of the pipes.

- Plate is considered as cantilevered beam
- Axial force due to pipe riser act on the base plate as an UDL.

Note:
- Nos of required bolts are calculated considering shear load
- Fischer model FAZ ll 16 is considered for the analysis.
- Friction force between concrete wall and the end plate has not been considered.
