Evaluation of seismic forces due to anchor movement and inertial effects in multiply supported piping systems
Abstract
To calculate seismic forces in multiply supported secondary systems such as piping, decoupled analyses are most commonly used. This assumes that the secondary system is relatively light such that its dynamic interaction with the primary structure is negligible. For most practical situations this assumption is justified. This enables us to specify the support motion inputs independent of the secondary system.
