16.12.3.3 Forces and moments

The values F and M at the respective sections n = 1 to n = 4 are determined as a function of the
n n
combination of all the loads to be taken into consideration in this load case (see Figure 16.12-4). Further
checking may be necessary if the wall thickness in the skirt is stepped.
16.12.3.4 Checking at connection areas (sections 1-1, 2-2 and 3-3)
In the connection area, sections 1, 2 and 3 defined in Figure 16.12-1, Figure 16.12-2 and Figure 16.12-3 have
to be checked. Checking is required for the membrane and the total stresses, while only the respective
longitudinal components are being taken into account.

The section force F in the skirt in the region of the joint depends on the position (n), i.e. whether the moment
Z
strengthen (q) or weakens (p) the load component:

This relationship was determined from numerical calculations using the finite element method. Because of the
large number of parameters, a simplification is made which, under certain circumstances, can lead to
significant over-dimensioning, e.g. in the case of “Korbbogen” ends.
In the region of sections 1-1 to 2-2 the above bending stress components are superimposed by the bending
effect caused by the internal pressure in the knuckle.

16.12.3.3 Forces and moments
The values F and M at the respective sections n=1 to n=4 are determined as a function of the
n n
combination of all the loads to be taken into consideration in this load case (see Figure 16.12-4). Further
checking may be necessary if the wall thickness in the skirt is stepped.
16.12.3.4 Checking at connection areas (sections 1-1, 2-2 and 3-3)
In the connection area, sections 1 to 3 defined in Figure 16.12-1 to 16.12-3 have to be checked. Checking
is required for the membrane and the total stresses, while only the respective longitudinal components
are being taken into account.

This relationship was determined from numerical calculations using the finite element method. Because of
the large number of parameters, a simplification is made which, under certain circumstances, can lead to
significant over-dimensioning, e.g. in the case of “Korbbogen” ends.
