Pipe load definition

The design of support structures (not covered by this Code) and of supporting elements (see definitions of piping and pipe-supporting elements in para. GR-1.5) shall be based on all concurrently acting loads transmitted into such supports. These loads, defined in para. IP-2.1, include weight effects, loads introduced by service pressures and temperatures, vibration, wind, earthquake, shock, and displacement strain [see para. IP-6.1.3(a)]. 

A factor of 1.5 shall be applied, to the peak acceleration of the FRS defined under Input Definition in Piping Qualified bv Dynamic Analysis to obtain an equivalent static load of a piping span.
