Abstract: Based on thee basic theory of piping FEM, stress analysis of the exhaust steam piping of Shuozhou Geruite ACC Power Plant has been discussed in this paper. Dead weight, thermal expansion, seismic loads, winds and foundation settlement have been considered according to relevant codes. Piping has been analyzed under necessary combined load cases.

Key words: piping stress analysis, seismic analysis, seismic acceleration, expansion joint, load cases combination
