Piping Design for Earthquakes

(OP)
OK Guys & Gals,

I am the Newbie in this Forum so please forgive me for asking basic questions. No i am not a student and I am not about to design some earth shattering system using any tips I pick up. Just learnig a branch of engineering that i find interesting. I need a mentor here, even in my twilight years.

I have available Pipeak piping design software. The tutorail (advanced) describes the software can be used  however leaves you up in the air when it comes to applying a frequency range, damping ratio etc. Where do you get the data that can be applied to a pipe system? What are the rules? Even the piping codes are general in their requirements. Basically stating that a pipe system should be analysed! thats not much help.

Where can I get the information and understanding?

RE: Piping Design for Earthquakes

The American Society of Civil Engineering has an online database that can help you.
Go to: www.asce.org
Select: Research
Select: Civil Engineering Database
Under Subject Headings enter: earthquakes pipelines
Select: Search
You will get a listing of over 50 technical articals relating to earthquakes and pipelines.  Select any one and you will get the source location and a summary of the paper.

Good luck.
