    Basic Anchor force question

    Dear forumites,

    I'm new to this excellent forum and I have a very basic question about anchor forces imposed on an anchor which I hope you would be kind enough to answer.
    I know that if a pipeline segment is anchored at two ends, stresses would develop on the anchors. If the pipeline is unrestrained at both ends, there would be no stresses at the anchors, since there are no anchors, but what if I have a pipeline anchored at one end but unrestrained at the other end,

    1. would the end that is anchored be subject to forces/stresses?

    <Anchor forces??>------------------------------------------------------->free end


    2. If both ends are anchored the force due to say thermal expansion is calculated as A*E*strain. Would this force be fully on each anchor or would it be half of this force on each anchor? Similarly, if I have one end resr


    <Anchor F1?>--------------Force = say 1000KN------------------------<Anchor F2?>


    Thank you....
