Abstract
A method of supporting distribution means, such as a pipeline, that accommodates temperature-induced expansion or contraction of the distribution means as well as unexpected, infrequent shocks to the structure, and provides effective thermal isolation of the distribution means from the surface on which the structure rests. The method includes arranging laterally spaced apart fixed bearing supports on a surface adjacent a path for distribution means and supporting elongated elastic members on the bearing supports at a distance spaced inwardly from the ends of the elastic members. Distribution means may be placed in association with the elastic members. Beginning from an equilibrium state, each elastic member is capable of bending in proportion to the magnitude of an additional load applied intermediate the ends of the elastic member, with the ends of each member sliding against the bearing members a distance also proportional to the magnitude of the additional load.
