Load Calc - Pipe Supports

This document provides calculations for wind loads on structures based on the ultimate wind speed of 120 miles/hr and exposure category C. It gives formulas to calculate the wind design force based on importance factor, velocity pressure, and shape coefficients. Wind loads are calculated for structural shapes, pipes, and a flare line up to a span of 80 feet. It also provides calculations for dead and live loads on the structure and pipes based on their weights and friction loads.
