Steel Stacks

Offering comprehensive guidelines for the design, fabrication, erection, inspection, and maintenance of steel stacks. The document meticulously details structural design requirements, including considerations for dead load, wind loads (especially dynamic responses like vortex shedding), and seismic analysis, complete with formulas and appendices defining parameters like gust effect factors and terrain exposure constants. Furthermore, it addresses material selection, specifically various types of steel and welding procedures, and outlines specifications for linings and coatings based on chemical and temperature environments. Finally, the standard covers access and safety features such as ladders and platforms, as well as electrical provisions and post-erection maintenance and inspection schedules.
