Abstract |
|
Tall RC chimneys are tubular in section and tapered or un-tapered along its height that convey polluted gases to a higher altitude where the dilution occurs and hence, bring the concentration within acceptable limits for breathing when it reaches lower altitude. The predominant loading to be considered in the design of the RC chimneys is the wind force which is generally more critical than earthquake force. The bending moment induced by the wind load on the lower section interacts with axial compression due to dead load. There is significant difference in the design criteria given in various design codes. Hence, it becomes necessary to carry out the detailed comparative study of some prevailing design codes for chimneys and to compare these results with the outcomes of experimental study to identify the design methodology that closely represents the behaviour of RC chimney. |
