Abstract:
The devastating impact of earthquakes on infrastructure, particularly chimneys, underscores the limitations of static analysis in structural engineering. Chimneys play a pivotal role in industrial infrastructure, where their structural integrity is critical for withstanding various environmental forces. Chimneys are essential for the safe release of smoke and hot gases into the atmosphere from a variety of industrial processes. Chimneys, which are usually made to be vertical or almost vertical, use the stack effect to draw air to the combustion chamber and promote a smooth flow of gases. This study investigates the impact of height-to-diameter (h/D) ratios on the structural properties of chimneys using STAAD Pro software. The analysis focuses on shear stress, bending moments, membrane forces, displacements, and absolute pressures across four distinct chimney models. Methodologically, STAAD Pro is utilized for comprehensive structural analysis, offering insights into the behavior of chimneys subjected to lateral forces and wind loading. In conclusion, the study contributes valuable insights into optimizing chimney design parameters for enhanced structural resilience and safety. By understanding how h/D ratios influence chimney behavior, engineers can effectively mitigate structural vulnerabilities and optimize performance under varying environmental conditions.
