Dynamic response of the piping system on the rack structure with gaps and frictions
Abstract
In the seismic analysis of the piping system on the rack structure, the interaction effect and local nonlinearities at the support can not be ignored. The interaction effect between a piping and a rack structure must be evaluated under the condition that a rack structure is not heavy and stiff enough compared with a piping system. The piping system may slide within a gap and cause an impact with a support during a seismic event. The vibration energy may be dissipated concurrently by friction within a gap. So, the interaction effect and these nonlinearities strongly affect the seismic response of both the piping system and the rack structure.
