Crushing Load in a Thin Wall Piping 1

[Vikoll]

Dear Pipers

Could you please shed some light on how to check for crushing load and for stress in thin-wall CS/SS piping to make sure they are not excessive for cases as follows:
- Bare pipe supported from the steel
- Pipe is on a shoe with no re-pad
If you can share a validated spread sheet for performing this calculation or refer to a proper source, your kind help will be truly appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day
Vikoll

The book "Roarks formulas for stress and strains" has calculations that allow you to calculate contact stresses for such situations. Very handy book in general and certainly worth having in your library.
