The New ACI 307-08 Chimney Code — Seismic Design Requirements
Publication: Structures Congress 2009: Don't Mess with Structural Engineers: Expanding Our Role
Abstract
In November 2008, ACI published a new document, "Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete Chimneys (ACI 307-08)". (Ref. 1) This new document replaces the existing chimney design standard, "Design and Construction of Reinforced Concrete Chimneys (ACI 307-98)". (Ref. 2) The new chimney code incorporates a number of major technical revisions. One of the more significant changes is pertinent to seismic design provisions. The new seismic design provisions include several key changes from the previous edition: namely, selecting the design base earthquake as 2/3 of MCE (Maximum Considered Earthquake), including effects of soil amplification in design response spectra, use of a response modification factor (R) of 1.50, considering the P-delta effects for chimneys of seismic design category D, E and F, and adding a seismic clearance criterion between the concrete chimney shell and chimney liner(s).
