Energy absorbing supports — An alternative piping support system
Abstract
Currently, piping supports in nuclear power plants include springs, rigid supports (such as struts or frames), and snubbers. When required by the design or operating conditions, rigid supports and snubbers are used to resist seismic and other dynamic loads. The location, type, and number of dynamic supports used are determined by the nature of the dynamic loads, the system’s operating conditions, physical characteristics, and allowable limits.
