Hello,
I am looking for some guidance on determining what applicable codes and/or regulations would apply to siting a transmission line structure next to underground high pressure gas lines.
NESC discusses grounding and/or grounded structure requirements.
Does anyone know of any other...
Thxs SlideRuleEra, I haven't run across this term before and was unsure of what the author of the report I was reading was trying to convey.
Thanks again,

I am well aware that codes do not stipulate the construction techniques or method used, however code do specify such things as safe working distances from energized parts, clearances, etc.
I don’t believe it is so unrealistic to think with all the power line in the US that some entity might...
The utility engineers are involved and seem to be looking to us to provide insight/guidance. The code is pretty clear on horizontal and vertical clearances such as distances from the track to the base of the structures, etc.
Just seem like there would be at the very least recommend practice...
Does anyone know of a code or industrial standards that specify the clearance of any ground disturbances should be kept from the base of the adjacent power poles structures to avoid weakening the foundations?
The planned project is for a new rail road track to be constructed parallel to an...
I was recently given a drill casing specification by my client that specified H40 7 inch production casing 16 lb/ft and a H40 10.75 inch surface casing 22 lb/ft. However, I have been unable to find any reference to the above mentioned casing. The closest match I have found is 17 lb/ft on the...
I do not know of a users manual for algor and the only text that I am aware that has examples of algor problems is Linear and Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis in Engineering Practice written Dr. Constantine Spyrakos.
This text is more on the basics of FEA with limited software interface...
Thanks,
Additional thoughts, I know that the weld process deviated from the code, therefore I am liable if this joint fails (if I accept the deviation). Per the code, the course of action would be to qualify the weld duplicating the conditions actually used (a new WPS with the lower/no...
Hello,
Here is my dilemma. A recent inspection revealed that the required preheat was not followed per AWS code. The joint: A36 base plate (2 inches thick), A992 Column (W10 x 77). Required preheat was 150 F.
Visual inspection showed no sign of cracking. The ambient conditions are not...

I am designing a large elevated tank (open) and would like to model the tank to verify/check my hand cal's for the reactions on my support columns due to seismic loading.
Which brings me to my question, what is the best way to model the fluid. I am not concerned...
The base allowable stress in tension, Sa, is specified in BPVC and depends on the material and the temperature. For specification SA-516 70 temperature range of -20F to 650F is 17,500 psi.
The joint efficiency (E) used in calculation for seamless shells is 1. For weld joints subject to...
Welding1,
Thanks for our response.
I should have stated that the weld group is subject to a parallel load (shear). The weld joint is a 15" diameter bushing approximately 9" long being welded to a 24” OD flange 2” thick.
I also have no problem analysis the welds independently. What...
Hello,
I am writing in hopes of acquiring information on the analysis of a groove & fillet weld group.
Here is my question:
In analyzing a groove weld "capped" with a fillet weld how is the strength of the weld determined. More specifically, how is the effective throat measured...
