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:
