For Load combinations and allowable deflection of non-conventional pipe rack, refer
Conventional pipe rack system,
If the project site is at remote location, then it will be very difficult to get good local
contractor.
Parallel construction activities are possible (foundation and module fabrication) and gain
in time schedule
In some countries, labour cost at site is more than labour cost at fabrication / module
assembly shop. So, if you fabricate and fit all the pipes , cable trays etc. at shop, then you
can save the project cost.
Late changes in design has huge effect on structure and module assembly.
longitudinal direction of the module. During a truck turn or due to superelevation of the road, a
horizontal load is also generated (centrfugal force) and value of that load is also 0.30 x weight of
module (30% of total dead load) acting transverse direction of modules. But both the horizontal
loads (longitudinal and transverse direction) do not act together. Other than these horizontal
loads, we also consider wind load and vertical impact load.
Summary of transportation load:
Vertical Impact Load (IV) 50% of (self weight of structure + Empty weight of pipe +
Cable tray)
Wind load (WLT) Wind load is applied on pipe rack module structure, pipe and cable
tray, in Transverse direction.
You need to check the Factor of safety againgst overturning during transportation and value
should be more than 1.5.
Erection loads and lifting points: In this case we generally consider a vertical impact load (load
factor = 1.5) on module.
Step - 3: Load Combinations and allowable deflection of pipe rack:
For Load combinations and allowable deflection of Modular pipe rack for in-situ analysis and
design, refer Conventional pipe rack system,
Modular pipe rack to be analysed for transportation and for lifting also.
Lifting load combinations: LC1 = 2.0 x Total dead load (ultimate load combinations for member
design per Canadian steel code CISC / NBC -95)
Transportation load combinations (ultimate load combinations per CISC-Canadian steel code /
NBC -95 for member design)):

Above load combinations are for reference only. You need to follow your project design
