Element Bearing Ratio Based Integral Safety Evaluation of Penstocks
Abstract:
Though it had been employed for limit analysis and integral safety assessment of pressure pipe and vessel, most of the elastic modulus adjustment procedures were applicable to simple structures because their load multiplier was mainly determined by stress. In this paper, a series of element bearing ratio (EBR) based load multiplier algorithms are given, in which the influence of both stress and material on limit load are included. The EBR based load multiplier algorithms are investigated, and two efficient algorithms are suggested. Then the two algorithms combined with the elastic modulus adjustment procedure of elastic modulus reduction method are applied to limit analysis and integral safety assessment of penstocks.
