Problem in Pipe Design
Therefore, t = 0.236 in. satisfies all internal pressure conditions. Check this steel-wall thickness against the external load due to 10 feet of fill.
STEP 2 EXTERNAL LOAD DESIGN
A . MODIFIED IOWA FORMULA
Prior to checking the anticipated horizontal deflection of the pipe, the designer must evaluate and determine the component parts to be used in the modified Iowa formula.
1. DEAD LOAD, We
(Check for the maximum fill height.)
Fill Height:
H = 10 ft
Soil Unit Weight: w = 120 pcf
Pipe O.D.:
BC = 49.5 in.
Earth Load
We = 10 (120) 49.5/12
= 4950 lb/ft of pipe
= 413 lb/in. of pipe
For fill heights greater than 8 feet, the HS-20 live load may be neglected; therefore, Wl = 0, meaning
W = We
2. PIPE STIFFNESS
Modulus of Elasticity of Steel:
Es = 30,000,000 psi
Modulus of Elasticity of Mortar:
El = 4,000,000 psi
Cement Mortar Lining Thickness:
Tl = 0.5 in.
Let Il = moment of inertia of the cement mortar lining
= ( 0 . 5 )3/ 1 2
= 0.0104 in.4/in. of pipe
Is = the moment of inertia of the steel cylinder
= ( 0 . 2 3 6 )3/ 1 2
= 0.0011 in.4/in. of pipe
Pipe stiffness:
E I = 30,000,000 (0.0011)+ 4,000,000 (0.0104)
= 74,600 lb-in.
DESIGN EXAMPLE
Design a 48-inch nominal I.D. pipeline for an operating pressure of 200 psi and a transient pressure of 80 psi.
Additionally, this pipeline will be field pressure tested to 250 psi. The pipe will have fill heights of 5-10 feet and the pipe zone will consist of course-grained soils with little or no fines, compacted to 90% of Standard
Proctor. Shop applied-cement mortar lining and tape wrap coating will provide the corrosion protection.
STEP 1 INTERNAL PRESSURE
Nominal Pipe Size:
D = 48 in.
Steel Wall O.D.:
O . D . = 49.5 in.
Working Pressure:
Pw = 200 psi
Transient Pressure
Pt = 80 psi
Field Test Pressure:
Pf = 250 psi
Let t = Steel Wall Thickness, in.
Fs = Allowable Unit Steel Stress, psi
= 21,000 psi when P = Pw
= 31,500 psi when P = Pw + Pt or P = Pf
(based on ASTM A139

Firm B also has $10,000 in assets, but these assets are financed by $5,000 in debt (with a 10 percent rate of interest) and $5,000 in equity. Both firms sell 10,000 units of output at $2.50 per unit. The variable costs of production are $1, and fixed production costs are $12,000. (To ease the calculation, assume no income tax.)…

    The free group with two generators a and b is composed of all finite strings that are formed from the four symbols a, a−1, b and b−1 given that no a is directly next to an a−1 and no b is directly next to a b−1. Two such strings can be concatenated and converted into a string of this type by repeatedly replacing the "forbidden" substrings with the empty string. For example: abab−1a−1 concatenated with abab−1a yields abab−1a−1abab−1a, which contains the substring a−1a underlined in the example, and so the “forbidden” string gets cancelled and reduced to abab−1bab−1a, which again contains the substring b−1b underlined in the example, which then gets reduced to abaab−1a. It can be checked that the group formed from the set of those strings with…

    Global variables are variables that are visible to every module in the program and its scope is the entire program so that all of the modules within the program can access a global variable. They can be declared in modules by simply setting up an assignment box and adding in the variables to the modules. In Pseudocode, you will simply write out the particular variable you want to declare and its value. Many programmers go against the idea of using global variables in modules but there are a few good sides to using global variables. For one, the global variables are very easy to find within modules and can be accessed throughout all of them. Global variables also make it easier to update…

    Two carers were moving a service user from a bed to a chair using a hoist. They placed the hoist sling underneath the service user and then attached it to the hoist. Whilst the hoist was stationary one carer turned away to pick up the service users slippers and as a result the service user fell forward to the ground. The service user suffered wounds on their scalp and bruising to their head. The service user was taking to hospital but passed away 10 days later. It was found that the sling loop fixings were wrongly adjusted and a safety pommel was not used.…

    Many campuses have issues between smokers and non-smokers; Kansas State University does not escape this. Many people on campus are bothered by smoking and smokers. This has led to a call for further smoking restrictions. In 2010 Joshua Madden wrote an editorial in the Kansas State Collegian against more restrictions on smokers. In the article, Madden argues that further restrictions against smokers are unnecessary since the effects of secondhand smoke outdoors are negligible, since smoking is a lifestyle choice similar to eating fatty foods K-State should not regulate it, and smoking is limited enough at K-State to add further limits. Further restrictions on smoking on campus are necessary because outdoor secondhand smoke is still very harmful, unlike eating fatty foods, smoking effects the health of others, and the places one can smoke on campus are not truly restricted or enforced. In my opinion, Kansas State should define smoking areas, and move them away from high traffic areas.…
