Design and Dynamic Analysis of Steel Chimneyin STAAD Pro

Abstract

: Chimneys must transport exhaust gases, gaseous products of combustion, may is necessary so that it creates an independent structure capable of withstanding wind loads, seismic loads, dead loads and other forces acting on it. Industrial chimneys are tall, slender structures with a circular section. Different types of steel chimney models are made by varying their height, diameter and geometry. Steel chimneys are generally cylindrical. Loads acting on steel chimneys are easily transferred to the foundation by widened or flared sections, chimneys built today are often susceptible to wind due to their size, shape, flexibility, slenderness and of their lightness. Therefore, special attention should be p aid to the safety and economy of the structure when designing the steel chimney.
