... Abstract The determination of pipe support and restraint assemblies are predicated on loads, geometrical constraints (i.e. distance between building steel and the pipe), and temperatures of the environment, pipe, or component. When designing and analyzing pipe clamps, thermal stresses...

.... An analytical model is developed for the stress evaluation as well and the results are compared with the finite element model. The study is intended to provide an efficient methodology for plate evaluation and qualification. FEA endplate supplementary steel pipe supports Proceedings of the ASME...

... Abstract American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section III, Division 1, Subsection NF, Subparagraph NF-3121.11 does not require that thermal stresses in supports be evaluated. Historically, pipe support engineers have not been concerned with thermal...

... This paper discusses the prescribed requirements contained within the ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code that specifically address the need to recognize the restraint introduced by piping support friction. The requirement for the design of sliding supports (pipe shoes) and brackets to resist...
