Mastering Industrial Piperack Design: Layout, Loads & Analysis
What I will learn?
- Master Industrial Piperack Layout strategies, including critical dimensions and the "No Flat Turns" routing rule.
- Navigate global Structural Engineering codes including ASCE 7, AISC 360, and PIP (Process Industry Practices).
- Perform manual Load Analysis for Dead, Operating, and Hydro-Test conditions (including "Large Bore Logic").
- Calculate Lateral Forces such as Wind loads, Transverse Friction, and Longitudinal Anchor loads.
- Understand Steel Design anatomy: Strutted vs. Unstrutted systems, bracing rules, and connection details.
- Apply Civil Engineering checks for Serviceability (Deflection L/240) and Structural Adequacy.

Hi, Welcome back!
A course by
AS
Material Includes
- Video Lectures
Requirements
- Basic understanding of Civil/Structural engineering concepts.
- Familiarity with industrial plants (Oil & Gas/Refinery context) is helpful but not required.
- No specific software (STAAD/SAP2000) is required; this course focuses on the concepts and math behind the software.
Target Audience
- Civil & Structural Engineers working in the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) sector.
- Piping Designers who want to understand the structural constraints of their layouts.
- Plant Engineers responsible for the maintenance and expansion of existing facilities.
- Engineering Students aiming for a career in Oil & Gas / Petrochemical design.
