The gas pipeline is supported every 20 ft by concrete piers

The gas pipeline is supported every 20 ft by concrete piers which hold the pipe fixed If the temperature rises 60degree F from the installation temperature, determine the longitudinal and hoop stresses in the pipe. The hoop stress in a pressurized cylinder is the __ stress in the __ direction tangential/longitudinal normal/longitudinal normal/transverse normal/tangential

Solution

The Hoop stress in a pressurized cylinder is thenormal stress in the tangential direction.
