The Appraisal Example of the Reliability and Seismic Performance of a Reinforced Concrete Chimney

Abstract:

In the state that the chimney is being used, we evaluate the seismic performance of the reinforced concrete chimney on the basis of testing the tilt, mechanical properties and chemical composition, configuration of the steel and construction measures, the lining damage, the cylinder damage, the subsidiary systems and dynamic characteristics of the chimney. The results show that: For the long-term wind action, corrosion and hot action, and lower level of construction and lower design standards, the reliability of the chimney structure can’t meet the current standards requirements, and need to take appropriate measures to be reinforced; but the seismic performance of the chimney structure can meet current standards requirements.
