Abstract
In the present study, a Cook Book method and a Static System Analysis method were compared with each other on the basis of a seismic design criteria of fire-fighting facilities and analyzed. The Cook Book method is analyzed by dividing a pipeline in each same section. In this method, a stress analysis is not possible except for the section analyzed in such a way that a brace is designed according to the weight of pipe, water and pipe fitting. To the contrary, in case of the Static System Analysis method, the stress analysis for the whole pipeline can be performed because the whole pipeline is regarded as a single structure. For the fatal stress values locally generated, it is necessary to actively perform a pipeline analysis by installing a device capable of locally relieving the stress of the pipeline. In Korea, only the Cook Book method is provided as the seismic design criteria of fire-fighting facilities, which causes many problems with diversification of seismic design. Thus, it is necessary to apply the seismic design method of the pipeline by using various kinds of engineered Static System Analysis methods.
