Abstract: Considering the effect of the interaction between piping and support systems in the piping design is a more integrated approach to improve the reliability of piping systems. So, it is important ...

Abstract: Improving the reliability of the piping systems can be achieved by eliminating the mechanical snubber and by reducing the response of the piping. In the seismic design of piping system, damping ...

Abstract: The support arrangement is one of the important factors in the design of piping systems. Much time is required to decide the arrangement of the supports. We applied a genetic algorithm to ...

Abstract: One of the current topics in the seismic design of piping systems is the overall reliability of them in earthquake events. Actual piping systems are generally supported by independent structures ...

Abstract: Friction between pipe and support structure is generally known to reduce seismic response of the piping systems. Vibration tests using large-scale piping model with friction support were carried ...
