The document describes load cases that need to be built to analyze occasional stresses from wind and seismic forces on piping. Load cases 6-13 consider various wind and seismic directions added to sustained loads to check node stresses. Load cases 14-21 isolate occasional loads from sustained loads. Load cases 22-29 combine occasional loads with sustained loads and will be used to check stresses against code allowables for occasional stresses. Scalar combination is used for load cases 22-29 and algebraic combination for other load cases.

Occasional Cases: Piping may be subjected to occassional wind and seismic forces. So to
check stresses in those situations we have to build the following load cases: 6. W+T1+P1+WIN1 OPE Considering wind from +X direction 7. W+T1+P1+WIN2 OPE Considering wind from -X direction 8. W+T1+P1+WIN3 OPE Considering wind from +Z direction 9. W+T1+P1+WIN4 OPE Considering wind from -Z direction 10. W+T1+P1+U1 OPE Considering seismic from +X direction 11. W+T1+P1-U1 OPE Considering seismic from -X direction 12 W+T1+P1+U2 OPE Considering seismic from +Z direction 13 W+T1+P1-U2 OPE Considering seismic from -Z direction While stress analysis the above load cases form load case 6 to load case 13 is generated only to check loads at node points. To find occasional stresses we need to add pure occassional cases with sustained load and then compare with code allowable values. Following sets of load cases are built for that purpose. 14. L6-L2 OCC Pure wind from +X direction 15. L7-L2 OCC Pure wind from -X direction 16. L8-L2 OCC Pure wind from +Z direction 17. L9-L2 OCC Pure wind from -Z direction 18. L10-L2 OCC Pure seismic from +X direction 19. L11-L2 OCC Pure seismic from -X direction 20. L12-L2 OCC Pure seismic from +Z direction 21. L13-L2 OCC Pure seismic from -Z direction 22. L14+L5 OCC Pure wind+Sustained 23. L15+L5 OCC Pure wind+Sustained 24. L16+L5 OCC Pure wind+Sustained 25. L17+L5 OCC Pure wind+Sustained 26. L18+L5 OCC Pure seismic+Sustained 27. L19+L5 OCC Pure seismic+Sustained 28. L20+L5 OCC Pure seismic+Sustained 29. L21+L5 OCC Pure seismic+Sustained Load cases from 22 to 29 will be used for checking occasional stresses with respect to code B 31.3 allowable (=1.33 times Sh value from code). Use scalar combination for load cases 22 to 29 above and algebraic combination for others as shown in figure attached below:
