Specifies whether to use a magnifier of gravitational loading for the uniform load. Uniform load in G's is used most often for static earthquake loadings.

When you select this option, in G’s is the default foreach uniform load vector on the Uniform Loads tab of the Piping Input auxiliary panel. You can override this option by selecting the in F/L option. For more information, see Uniform Loads.

Uniform load can be defined either in terms of force per unit length or in terms of a magnifier of gravitational loading.

  • Earthquake loads are occasional loadings and as such are not directly addressed by the CAESAR II recommended load case logic. You must form your own combination cases at the output processor level that represent the algebraic sum of the stresses due to sustained and occasional loads. For more information, see Occasional Load Factor.
