ACI CODE-307 SI : 2023

Description:

This Code provides material, design, and detailing requirements for cast-in-place and precast reinforced concrete chimneys. It sets forth minimum loadings for design and contains methods for determining the concrete and reinforcement required to obtain the strength required by the loadings. The methods of analysis apply primarily to circular chimney walls, but guidance is included for applying the general principles to noncircular chimney walls.

Keywords:

across-wind load; construction requirements; earthquake load; flexural strength; load combinations; reinforced concrete; reinforced concrete chimneys; structural design; thermal load; vortex shedding; windload.
