    Anchor grp pipe support one meter from grp tank ?. Please help me with better support design

    Hi, I was asked to review the loads on some supports of a GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) pipe, which is gravitational, performing a flexibility analysis. The support arrangement is copied from other projects, whose pipe is geometrically similar with the same service. This pipe feeds a tank of...
