Governing Loads For Design of a 60m Industrial RCC Chimney

Abstract

Industrial Chimneys are generally intended to supportcritical loads produced by seismic activity and wind.So it is essential to evaluate the dynamic response of chimney to seismic activity and wind loads.Response to Earthquake and wind are more critical as chimney is a slender structure.The present paper will analysethe 60m reinforced concrete chimney. Comparison has been made for wind and seismic analysis.Seismic analysis is done as per IS 1893(part 4): 2005 and wind analysis as per Draft Code CED38(7892):2013 (Third revision of IS 4998(part 1):1992).Further study continues on deciding the governing loads for chimneys for the loads considered.
