Chimney Design Analysis Using SAP2000

This document summarizes a study that analyzed the effects of wind loads, earthquake loads, and temperature on reinforced concrete chimneys of varying heights and designs using the software SAP2000. The study found that as the radius-thickness ratio of chimneys increases, displacement decreases. Taller chimneys and those with a partially tapered design were more vulnerable to wind, seismic, and temperature effects compared to fully tapered chimneys, which exhibited minimum displacement. The goal was to determine structural demands to prevent chimney collapse.

CHIMNEY DESIGN BY USING SAP2000

ABSTRACT

The chimney is a system for venting hot flue gases or smoke from a boiler or furnace to the
outside atmosphere. They are typically almost vertical to ensure that the hot flue gases flow
smoothly, drawing air into the combustion through the chimney effect. It is essential to
determine the wind, seismic and temperature demands of chimney structures to prevent structural
problems which lead to collapse of the structure. This study focused the effect of wind load,
earthquake load as well as temperature effects on reinforced concrete (RC) chimneys. Wind
analysis was carried out by along wind effects by using the Simplified method and seismic
analysis by time history analysis for different heights varying from 275m to 400m with three
different radius-thickness ratios and for different longitudinal sections such as tapered and
partially tapered by using the software SAP2000v19. Analyses were conducted to study the
variation of displacement and shell stress for the wind analysis, peak displacement for the
seismic analysis and temperature effects. The results indicated that as the radius-thickness ratio
increases the displacement values were decreasing. The RC chimney with more height and the
partially tapered section will be critical compared to fully tapered chimney for the wind, seismic
and temperature effects and fully tapered chimney structure exhibiting minimum displacement.
