LC Snow (Schnee) on vertical equipment

Beitrag von pancevo »

Hello,

How to include snow on vertical equipment?
Snow on cylinder.png
If we design vertical equipment (cylinder) as a large diameter pipe or as a structural element (round shape) Rohr2 will not consider snow load since it is in vertical position.

Do we have to make LC Occasional primary loads "Snow" and to add point load (Q = Sk * A) on top of cylinder?

For example Q=0.65 (kN/m2) * 2 (m2) = 1.3 kN downward point load

Hi

You are right that ROHR2 will apply snow loads on horizontal pipes but not on the end.
So in order to include the snow load at the silencer top, you need to add a point load in the load-case snow.

Best regards
