1.0General
1.1Sco
ope
To determine
d
the effect off wind load on
o FRP pip
pe in the verrtical section
n. The
failure criteria
c
of FR
RP pipe is bending
b
stre
ess from wind pressure
e exceed m
minimum allo
owable
axial strress, ax. Deflection
D
fo
or pipe shall not exceed L/600

1.2Sum
mmary
Stress and
a deflectiion of FRP pipe was ca
alculated fro
om conventtional beam
m theory and
d both
stress and
a deflectio
on satisfied
d the design
n criteria. Ma
aximum ben
nding stresss that was found
f
to
be 3.7 MPa
M
which is lower tha
an allowable
e stress of 12.4
1
MPa. The
T deflectiion was found to
be 2.4 mm
m which iss lower thatt allowable limit of 6.92
2 mm.
Stress in
i steel sup
pport was fo
ound using FEA
F
software Ansys R15. The ma
aximum Von
n Mises
stress was
w found to
o be 46.92 MPa which
h is lower tha
an allowable yield stress of 166.7 MPa
The dessign of pipe
e span and support
s
wass satisfied for
f the given
n wind pressure.
