Where can I find “Support design loads” in a CAEPIPE report?
A-50. The support design loads (at various supports) need to be determined by looking at all loads for each load case. The design loads would be the absolute maximum amongst all loadcases. In case of the rod hanger where there are zero forces, you would look at Sustained and Expansion (plus/minus seismic) and take the worst case. In cases where you have a seismic load case, you (manually) need to add and subtract the seismic results from the Operating load case results to get the range and take the absolute maximum as the design load.
