Thrust of fire standpipe, Load category and load combination
Thrust of fire standpipe, Load category and load combination
(OP)
Hello
I'm working on a steel stair tower design. One of the requirements that was requested is to install fire standpipe and connect it to the stair tower leg. The standpipe has several places where it changes direction and the outlet is at the top of the stair tower where it will be accessed at the last top level. Thrust will be present at the locations where the standpipe changes direction and also at the top outlets. Does anyone know under what type of load thrust will be and what is the load combination for this type of load in combination of other types like dead, wind, seismic, etc? Please let me know.
Thank you
Johnny
