yes I was not clear in my question, I meant that standards have given formulas that calculate the stresses on the ring girder without taking into account the dimensions of leg. I want to make a CAD of the penstock to do numerical analysis and I do not know which length to give to the leg to meet...

the penstocks are either supported on the saddles or on ring girder legs. the standards ( like ASME) make the calculation of the stresses on the ring girder without giving the dimension of the support leg , whereas I think that the change of the dimensions of the leg will probably change the...

Understood Thank you very much for your great help

Thank you very much Please , by "lin ft " it means horizontal foot or foot along the slope ?

Thank you very much for your answer . L is the horizontal distance between supports.

<< Mentor Note -- Thread moved from the technical forums, so no Template is shown >> Hi , Please I have to understand the solution of an exercice about calculating bending moment in penstock : It is assumed that maximum moment from penstock beam bending occurs at supports. The bending moment M...
