vert. pipe riser anchor loads
(OP)
hello ,
regarding the distribution of water and pipe weight in the attached vert. riser arrangement.
Will the water load be distributed equally between the two anchors due to the 4.5 mtr offset.
or
is anchor 1 supporting the complete weight of the water and half the dry pipe ....with anchor 2 supporting half the dry weight located above.
appreciate any help/direction...

RE: vert. pipe riser anchor loads
Make sure you have enough flexibility in the short horizontal leg to absorb the expansion of the long leg otherwise you have to consider expansion forces in the anchor loads.
