GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
A reinforced concrete chimney is usually of two types
(a) Single flue - when one chimney serves one boiler
(b) Multi flue - when one chimney serves more than one boiler
Both single flue and multiflue chimneys can have either brick lining or steel
lining.
In case of single flue chimneys with brick lining, the lining is supported on
corbels or a grid work of beams at every 10 m intervals or less. If the lining
is of steel, then major portion of lining is supported from the top of
chimney (top hung) and a small portion of lining is supported at the bottom.
Lateral restraint is provided for the lining at certain intervals.
In case of multiflue chimneys with brick lining, the lining is supported on a
grid work of beams with platform at every 10 m intervals or less. If the
lining is of steel then again a major portion of lining is supported from the
top of chimney (top hung) and a small portion of lining is supported at the
bottom. Lateral restraint is provided for the lining at certain intervals.
Internal platforms with a grid work of beams are provided to access the
flues. A roof slab at top covers the chimney with provision to access it
through a manhole at roof level. There is also a provision to collect rain
water at roof level, bring it down through downtake pipes and collect it in a
sump.
Design of steel flue is covered in M6-CV-034

However, for design of individual structural elements such as platforms,


etc. and for local strengthening of the shell, appropriate imposed loads shall
be considered. In the absence of data, the live load on platform can be
assumed as 5 kN/m2. Roof supporting steel framing beams, in the case of
steel flues shall be designed to support concentrated load transmitted by
flue erecting structures. In addition this slab shall also be designed to
support a live load of 15 kN/m2

Wind Loads
The method of estimating wind loads is given in Annex A of IS 4998 (Part
1) : 1992. In order to estimate the dynamic wind loads, the mode shapes
and frequencies of the chimney shell is necessary. Hence, prior to the
calculation of the wind loads, a free vibration analysis of the chimney shell
has to be done considering it to be a cantilever fixed at base. Any standard
method like STAAD-III, involving discretization of the structure and
assuming it to be made of a homogeneous material with a suitable value of
elastic modulus can be used. The following values of the modulus of
elasticity of concrete shall be considered for calculating the natural
frequencies.

Wind effect on chimney shell are


(a)

Static or Along-wind load with or without aerodynamic interference


This load induces vibrations in chimneys in the direction of wind.

(b)

Unsteady force with or without aerodynamic interference This force


induces vibrations in chimneys in a direction perpendicular to the
direction of wind flow. The force induced in the direction of wind is
called Along-wind force and that perpendicular to the direction of
wind as Across wind force.

As per IS 4998 (Part 1) : 1992, both the along and across wind forces shall
be calculated by two methods
(i)
(ii)

Simplified method As indicated in clause A-4 and


Random response method As indicated in clause A-5.

The method which yields higher moments shall be considered for the design
of chimney shell.

As the formulae given in the code are not fully explicit, they have been
listed here along with a brief explanation.
6.3.1

Simplified method

6.3.1.1

Along-wind load or drag force


The along wind load or drag force per unit height of the chimney at any
level shall be calculated from the equation
Fz = pz . CD . dz

---------(1)

pz = design wind pressure obtained in accordance with IS 875 (Part 3)


z = height of any section of the chimney in mts measured from top of
foundation
CD = drag coefficient of the chimney
dz = diameter of chimney at height z in mts
The design wind pressure (pz) shall be calculated using the 3 seconds gust
wind indicated in clause 5.3 and 5.4 of IS 875 (Part 3). Risk coefficient
factor (k1) is read from Table 1 of IS 875 (Part 3) with the following
condition : The mean probable design life of structure is taken as 25 years
for Shell only condition and as 100 years for shell & lining condition.
Terrain, height and structure size factor (k 2) is read from Table 2 of IS 875
(Part 3) and topography factor (k3) is generally taken equal to 1.
The drag coefficient (CD) of the chimney shell shall be taken as 0.8.
However, if strakes are mounted on the surface of chimney, the drag
coefficient shall be modified as indicated in Table 1 of IS 4998 (Part 1) :
1992.
The moments in the chimney shell shall be calculated treating the chimney
as a free standing structure. For this purpose, sections in the chimney shell
shall be taken at 10m intervals along the height of shell or at every corbel
level whichever distance is less. The load at any section shall be calculated
by suitably arranging the loads above and below it.
6.3.1.2

Across-wind loads
In order to calculate across-wind loads, the following procedure shall be
followed.

All the above parameters are calculated by integrating over the total
height of the chimney. In the actual case, the integration can be
achieved by dividing the chimney into large number of small segments
and calculating the value of the integrals at the middle of each
segment. The values so obtained are summed over the total height of
the chimney.
The above calculation of oi is acceptable upto 4 percent of the
effective diameter. If the so computed value of oi exceeds 4 percent
of the effective diameter, the amplitude of oscillation oi shall be
increased as follows :

Circumferential wind loads


The wind pressure distribution around a chimney is not uniform. This
induces circumferential ring moments. The circumferential moments due to
wind are calculated by the formula
Moe or Moi = 0.33 pz . rm in N-m/m height

----------(23)

Where
Moe and Moi = external and internal ring moments
pz

= design wind pressure at height z in N/m and

rm

= mean radius of the shell at the section under consideration


in mts

The design wind pressure (pz), for the circumferential ring moments, shall
be obtained in accordance with IS 875 (Part 3) clause 5.3 and 5.4, treating
the chimney as class A structure.
The hoop force and shear due to ovalling need not be considered.
6.3.4

Ovalling oscillations
Because of the relatively small thickness of the chimney at the top
compared to its diameter, possibilities of ovalling oscillations will have to
be examined only if the diameter of the chimney exceeds 75 times the wall
thickness at top.

6.3.5

Aerodynamic interference
All the above calculations for wind load are for isolated chimney. When a
cluster of chimneys is present, aerodynamic interference between them may
increase the total wind load. Aerodynamic interference shall be considered
for along-wind load only if the spacing between the centre lines of the
chimneys is less than 3 times the effective diameter of the largest chimney.
The enhancement in wind loads will be due to an increase in the value of
CD. The value of CD for each chimney located within a distance of 3 times
the effective diameter, may be calculated by assuming the value of CD to be
increasing linearly from 0.8 (for a spacing of 3 effective diameters) to a

FORM NO. 120R2

DESIGN GUIDE FOR RC CHIMNEYS

SECTION: WRITE-UP

SHEET 20 OF 89

value of 2.0 (for a hypothetical spacing of 1 effective diameter which


implies that the two chimneys touch each other if they are cylindrical and
identical). These values of CD apply up to the height of the nearest
interfering chimney, if the chimneys are of unequal height. It is permissible
to obtain more accurate values of CD by carrying out properly conducted
model tests in wind tunnels.
When identical chimneys are spaced at less than 20 times the diameter at
2/3rd height, the amplitudes of oscillation of the downstream chimneys are
found to be magnified due to aerodynamic interference. The term
magnification is used to denote the ratio of the amplitude of across-wind
oscillation when there is periodic vortex induced aerodynamic interference
to the amplitude of across-wind oscillations when there is no aerodynamic
interference. For a given configuration of identical chimneys, the
magnification factor for the across-wind amplitude oi (calculated as per
clause 6.3.1.2 or 6.3.2.2) is indicated in Fig.1 of IS 4998 (Part 1) : 1992. In
case of dissimilar chimneys a model study is necessary to determine the
magnification factor.
6.3.6

Remedial measures for suppressing across wind oscillation


The across wind oscillations can be suppressed by providing discrete
strakes on the outer surface of the chimney. Clause A-7 of IS 4998 (Part1) : 1992 gives the details of strakes. The provision of strakes increases the
drag coefficient over the height where they are mounted. The incremental
drag coefficient is indicated in Table 1 of IS 4998 (Part 1) : 1992, and they
should be added to the basic drag coefficient CD = 0.8.
Discrete strakes can also be used to suppress or minimize large across-wind
amplitudes in single chimneys. In such cases, magnification in Table 1 shall
be taken as the ratio of the calculated across-wind amplitude to the alongwind amplitude.

6.4

Seismic Loads
The seismic loads on a chimney are estimated using the response spectrum
method. The mode shapes and natural frequencies obtained for dynamic
wind load analysis can also be used to conduct a seismic analysis for the
chimney. Usually the first five modes are considered for analysis. In the
absence of a site specific response spectrum, the spectrum indicated in IS
1893 shall be used for the estimation of earthquake loads.
In order to estimate the seismic loads, the chimney shall be considered as a
cantilever fixed at base and any standard method like STAAD III involving
discretization of the structure and lumping the mass at the nodes can be
used.

SECTION: WRITE-UP

SHEET 21 OF 89

Thermal loads are induced due to temperature gradients present in chimney


shell. The temperature gradients are significant for single flue chimneys with
or without ventilated air space. Those chimneys which enclose well
insulated flues situated some distance from the shell and in which the
intermediate space is sufficient to provide access for inspection, rarely have
temperature design problems.
6.5.1

Estimation of temperature gradient


Clause D-2.2.3 of IS:4998 (Part 1) 1975 gives the formula for calculating
temperature gradient across chimney shell. Four cases have been considered
(a) Unlined chimneys
(b) Lined chimneys with insulation completely filling the space between
the lining and shell
(c) Lined chimneys with unventilated air space
(d) Lined chimneys with ventilated air space.
Case (a), (b) and (c) are now obsolete. Hence Case (d) has been dealt
further.
As per clause C-1 of IS:4998 (Part 1) 1975, chimneys with ventilated air
space should satisfy the following conditions:
(i)

Air inlets shall be provided near the base with proper covering for the
openings so as to prevent any dirt or tiny creatures entering the air
gap.

(ii)

The number and size of openings in the chimney wall and each corbel
shall be such as to have a total area of not less than two-thirds of the
area of minimum air gap.

(iii) Such openings in shell may be distributed in more than one layer, if
required, to minimize the reduction in shell area which may otherwise
weaken the shell.
(iv) Adequate arrangement should be made at the top of chimney for
egress of the heated air.

the lining and the chimney shell is not less than 100 mm
throughout the entire height of the lining and air inlet openings are
provided through the chimney shell at the bottom of the lining
having an area in square centimetres numerically equal to twenty
times the inside diameter in centimetres of the chimney shell at the

DESIGN PROCEDURE

9.1

Proportioning
The height of the chimney as well as the diameter at the top are normally
chosen so that exit velocity and dispersion of gases are within the specified
limits. The bottom diameter is more frequently controlled by the structural
requirements of both the concrete shell and the foundation. A height to
outside base diameter ratio in the range of 10-15 will provide good
proportion for the design of both the chimney and the foundation.

FORM NO. 120R2

TCE Consulting Engineers Limited


DESIGN GUIDE FOR RC CHIMNEYS

TCE.M6-CV-RC-G-

SECTION: WRITE-UP

SHEET 25 OF 89

In cases of multiflue chimneys, the internal diameter is usually kept constant


with only the shell thickness varying with height.
9.2

Minimum Requirements
The following requirements regarding the chimney shell shall be adopted

9.3

1)

The maximum width of the openings shall normally be limited to an


angle of not more than 60 subtended at the centre of the concrete
shell. Where the extent of shell left, between two openings, is limited
such that the subtended angle is less than 45, procedures as normally
adopted for column design, shall be adopted to check the adequacy of
the shell in this design.

2)

The minimum thickness of concrete shell shall be 200 mm for


chimneys with an internal diameter of 8500 mm or less. For portions
having an internal diameter exceeding 8500 mm, the minimum shell
thickness shall be increased by 5 mm for every 500 mm (or part
thereof) increase in diameter over 8500 mm. For multi-flue chimneys
with steel flues which are top hung, it is preferable to have a minimum
thickness of 300mm for the concrete shell.

3)

The grade of concrete in chimney shell shall be minimum M25 and


shall not be richer than M40 if slip forming is used.

Design Methodology
The chimney is designed as a cantilever beam of circular cross section.
Direct load is due to vertical load while moments are created by horizontal
wind or earthquake forces. The chimney is designed using working stress
method as explained in IS 4998 (Part 1) : 1975.
Stresses in the chimney shell are checked at various sections. Generally
these sections should be at 10 m intervals along the height of the shell or at
corbel levels whichever is less and in addition at the location of openings.

9.4

Formulae for stress calculation.


Appendix D of IS 4998 (Part I) 1975 gives the formulae for stress
calculation in chimney shell. But there is some difference in the formulae
when compared with ACI-307-1979. Text book Tall chimneys Design
and Construction by S. N. Manohar also gives a set of formulae for
calculating the stresses which match with the ACI code. Hence, the
formulae given in the text book have been reproduced below.(Refer fig.5 )

Design Procedure
The following procedure may be followed for using the formulae:
(a) Compute the bending moment M due to wind or earthquake force
acting above the section under consideration.
(b) Compute the dead load W of the portions, of chimney, above the
section under consideration
(c) Determine e = M/W
(d) Determine e/r
(e) Assume p at the section under consideration
(f) Select the value of m for concrete grade to be used

Determine
Determine stresses
Calculate temperature stress in steel and concrete
Calculate stress in steel and concrete due to wind induced moments
Check combined stresses
Check stresses due to corbel moments
If stresses exceed the corresponding permissible stress limits, increase
shell thickness or reinforcement or both and repeat the steps.

Deflection
As per clause 8 of IS 4998 (Part 1) 1975, permissible deflection shall not
exceed 1/500 of height above top of foundation subject to the provisions in
clause C-1.1.3 of the above code. In case of self supported linings, chimney
deflection due to wind should be checked to ensure that shell does not
come into contact or exert pressure on the lining.
For the 3 sec. wind load, static modulus of elasticity of concrete shall be
used for deflection check. For the HMW with gust, dynamic modulus of
elasticity of concrete shall be used.

9.7

Detailing Practice and Requirements


The clear concrete cover over the vertical reinforcement in the shell shall
not be less than 50 mm. For other detailing requirements refer the standard
specification.

CHIMNEY PROGRAM
An in-house program called CHMND (Program No. TCE.M6-CV-AMC400) has been developed for the analysis and design of chimney shell. This
program can be used for the complete analysis and design of chimney shell
for both single flue and multiflue chimney.

The critical level is at EL 147.000. From fig. 8

360

Area of hatched portion

= (0.8422 + 0.714) x 0.245

= 0.19063 m

Total opening area at EL 147.000


= 0.19063 x 12 = 2.2876 m > 2.235 m
Hence maximum width of corbel that can be provided = 175 mm
As per clause D-2.2.3.1 of IS:4998 (Part 1) 1975 the value of rq can be
taken equal to 0.5 only when
a)

the distance between the lining and the chimney shell is not less than
100 mm and

b)

air inlet openings are provided at the bottom having an area in cm


equal to twenty times the inside diameter of chimney shell (in cm) at
the top.

The minimum distance provided between the lining and chimney shell is 245
mm > 100 mm
Twenty times inside dia of chimney shell = 20 x 460 = 9200 cm
Area of air inlet provided = 2.262 m = 22620 cm
> 9200 cm

Hence okay

AIR OUTLET AT TOP

TEMPERATURE GRADIENT CALCULATION ACROSS


CONCRETE SHELL
As shown earlier, the number and size of openings in the chimney wall and
at each corbel satisfies clause C-1.1.2 and D-2.2.3.1 of IS:4998 (Part-1)
1975. Hence the chimney is treated as lined chimney with ventilated air
space between the lining and shell.
The temperature gradient for lined chimneys with ventilated air space is
given by equation 24
Calculation at a typical level (EL 97.000) is presented below. Similarly
calculation of temperature gradient at other levels are carried out.

WIND LOAD CALCULATIONS AS PER IS 4998 (PART 1) 1992


Top 1/3 height of chimney is from EL 150.000 to EL 100.000
Outer diameter of chimney at EL 150.000

= 5.2 m

Outer diameter of chimney at EL 100.000

= 5.4 m

Av diameter from EL 150.000 to EL 100.000 = 5.2 + 5.4 = 5.3 m

Effective diameter d = Average diameter = 5.3 m
Aerodynamic Interference Cl A-1.1
Centreline distance between two chimneys

3 times the effective diameter

= 15.9 m

= 3 x 5.3

Since the centreline distance is greater than 3 times effective diameter, there
is no aerodynamic interference.

Diameter of chimney at top

= 5.2 m

Wall thickness at top

= 0.3 m

75 times wall thickness = 75 x 0.3

= 22.5 m

Since the diameter of chimney at top is less than 75 times wall thickness,
ovalling oscillation need not be examined.
From Clause A-1.2.4
Diameter of chimney at 2/3 height i.e. EL 100.000

= 5.4 m

20 times the diameter = 20 x 5.4

= 108 m

Centreline distance between chimneys

= 67.5 m

Since the spacing of the chimneys is less than 20 times the diameter, the
amplitudes of oscillation of the downstream chimney will be magnified. This
magnification can be suppressed by providing strakes. In this case, we
propose to design the chimneys for magnified amplitudes of oscillation
instead of providing strakes.

Magnified peak tip deflection = 1.75 x 0.01487 = 0.0260
Using the value of oi calculate the sectional force, shear force and bending
moment due to across wind at all sections.(Refer table 5)
Corresponding along wind velocity at 2/3 H = EL 100.000 = 39.20 m/sec.
Using this velocity, calculate the corresponding along wind moment
9.81 2
= ------- x (Fzm + Fzf)
39.20

and the resultant moment at all levels.

(Refer table 6)
Repeat all the above calculations for second mode of vibration also.

DESIGN OF STRAKES
As mentioned earlier in section 6.3.6, the across wind oscillations can be
suppressed by providing discrete strakes on the outer surface of the
chimney. Clause A-7 of IS 4998 (Part I), 1992 gives the details of
strakes. Given below is example on the design of strakes.(Refr fig 11, 12
and 13)
The strake between stiffeners is a plate fixed along three edges and fourth
side free.
The forces in the plate are obtained using Moodys charts.

DESIGN OF BOLTS FOR STRAKES
(Refer fig 13)
Wind pressure on strake = 4053 N/m2
Max. contributing height for bolts (for extreme bolts) = 200 mm.
Shear force at the junction of strake and embedment = 4053 x 0.2 x 1.3 =

Moment at the junction of strake and embedment = 1054 x 1.3/2 = 685.1

Shear force for each bolt = 1054 / 2 = 527 N.
Tension / Compression for bolt = 685.1 / 0.22 = 3114 N.
