Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 3-2: Towers, masts and chimneys - Chimneys

This Part 3.2 of EN 1993 applies to the structural design of vertical steel chimneys of circular or conical section. It covers chimneys that are cantilevered, supported at intermediate levels or guyed. The provisions in this Part supplement those given in Part 1.1 of EN 1993. This Part 3.2 is concerned only with the requirement for resistance (strength, stability and fatigue) of steel chimneys. For provisions concerning aspects, such as chemical attack, thermo-dynamical performance or thermal insulation see EN 13084-1. For the design of liners see EN 13084-6. Foundations in reinforced concrete for steel chimneys are covered in EN 1992 and EN 1997. See also 4.7 and 5.4 of EN 13084-1. Wind loads are specified in EN 1991-1-4. This Part does not cover special provisions for seismic design, which are given in EN 1998-6. See also 5.2.4.1 of EN 13084-1. Provisions for the guys and their attachments are given in EN 1993-3-1 and EN 1993-1-11. For the execution of steel chimneys, reference should be made to EN 1090, Part 2 and EN 13084-1. The following subjects are dealt with in EN 1993-3-2:;Section 1: General;Section 2: Basis of design;Section 3: Materials;Section 4: Durability;Section 5: Structural analysis;Section 6: Ultimate limit states;Section 7: Serviceability limit states;Section 8: Design assisted by testing;Section 9: Fatigue
