Assalamualaikum,
Im designing a connection a pipe to pipe, between this pipe i have to add a plate to connect the pipe with welds. How can i determine the thickness of the pipe? Do i just design it based on tension load on the pipe? Cause my senior said that theres an eccentricity and i have to design it to resist such loads, but im not sure. Heres the figure of the drawing.
Regards
