The document discusses pipeline stress analysis using Caesar II software including buried pipeline modeling, anchor block restraint, and load case combinations.

Piping is usually aboveground while pipeline is underground. Piping requires more supports while pipeline uses anchor blocks. Different codes are also used.

The buried element data spreadsheet is used to define the buried sections and mesh spacing. Soil models are also input. The original model is then converted to a buried model.

PIPELINE STRESS ANALYSIS
WITH CAESAR II
 What the different with piping stress ?
 Pipeline burried modeling
 Anchor block restrain
 Load case combination & result
The difference of piping & pipeline
stress analysis
Piping modeling Pipeline modeling

• Code requirement shall use • Code requirement use


ASME B31.3 ASME B31.4 for liquid &
B31.8 for gas transmission
• Usually Underground
• Aboveground
• Shall use anchor block as a
• Many support or restrain restrain from aboveground-
needed underground conversely
Burried Pipe

• Buried pipe deforms laterally in areas


immediately adjacent to changes in directions
• In areas far removed from bends and tees the
deformation is primarily axial
PIPELINE BURRIED MODELING
• The Buried Pipe Modeler is started by selecting an existing
job, and then choosing menu option Input-Underground from
the CAESAR II Main Menu
• Enter the soil data using Buried Pipe - Soil Models
• Describe the sections of the piping system that are buried,
and define any required fine mesh areas using the buried
element data spreadsheet
• Convert the original model into the buried model by the
activation of option Buried Pipe - Convert Input
Input soil models
The buried element description spreadsheet serves
several functions

• It allows the user to define which part of the piping system is


buried.
• It allows the user to define mesh spacing at specific element
ends.
• It allows the input of user defined soil stiffnesses
Burried pipe example
Anchor Block Restrain
• Pipeline with a long distance needs block
valve, there were a change direction from
underground to aboveground
• In this situation pipeline must be installed
with anchor block before and after
aboveground pipe
Why we need anchor block ?

• To prevent stress failed on block valve due to


axial deformation of a long pipeline
Example of block valve modeling

Load Case Combination

• To check stress analysis on pipeline shall use


several load case combination as folow :
• Sustain Load ( W + P)
• Thermal Load (T)
• Combination Load ( W + T + P)
