Civil Foundation Design for Pipe Support

Out of the Following 3 cases, which load is MORE realistic in the Design of Support Foundations?

1. Static Load (Weight of Pipe,Fittings and Fluid for the given Span)
2. Maximum Load out of the CAESAR output as listed below:
   1. Sustained Load (Equivalent to case 1 above)
   2. Operating Load
   3. Expansion Load
3. Maximum Load out of all the Cases above.

In other words,
I wanted to know
whether we can use the CAESAR Load outputs as an input for Support Foundation Design or not.

With warm regards,
