transportation and handling loads.
transportation and handling loads.
(OP)
Hi all,
Can some one tell me what kind of lateral load combination should I use for analyzing a structure subjected to transportation and handling loads. The structure is a skid which will be installed in a chemical processing plant. It will be built , assembled off site and transported to it final location in the plant. I saw in a sample calculation that they used the following combinations for lifting and handling loads respectively,
a. for lifting load
2g vertical
b. and for transportation loads
1. 1.5g lateral + 1g vertical,
2. 2.5g vertical load and
3. 1.0g lateral + 1g vertical.
this example does not cite from where these load combinations were obtained. Are these the right combinations or are there any other combinations ?
Thanks

RE: transportation and handling loads.
Forward = 2g
Aft = 2g
Down and Forward = 1.5g and 1g respectively
Down and Aft = 1.5g and 1g respectively
