To calculate the thrust forces acting on an elbow and verify the suitability of the structural supports.
Calculations were carried out using Swift Calcs to understand the loads exerted on the elbow. These were then inputed into SolidWorks FEA for analysis.
By understanding the forces involved it was possible for the structures to be designed as fit for purposes and not over engineered with excessive material use.
Space constrained tie-in pipework connection.
At a STW an additional tertiary filter tank was to be installed. The outlet required connecting into the above ground drainage pipework for the neighbouring tank.
Calculating the thrust forces acing on an elbow.
When an open ended horizontal pipe was to have an elbow fitted to direct the flow vertical, we were asked to calculate the forces and verify the structural support elements.
