I am posting an example problem about pipe hangers for which I have worked out an answer. Although the answer might be correct, it very well might not. There are multiple ways of solving pipe hanger problems. I have used an approach that writes a moment equation for every hanger. I need a standardized method that can be used for hundreds of hangers and miles of pipe. In the real problem, some of the pipe is heavy (48" dia and filled with water).
I would hope that someone can look at this example and comment about whether it is correct? I am OK with linear sections and can match the text book answers, but this one isn't linear.
