Design of Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Stacks

most recent

Abstract

  • This standard outlines the important mechanical and structural engineering considerations for stacks where the primary supporting shell is made of FRP.

    Topics include considerations pertaining to wind and seismic-induced vibrations; guidelines for the ultraviolet protection and selection of materials; requirements for lighting and lightning protection, based on existing building and federal codes; requirements for climbing and access, based on current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards; the important areas regarding fabrication and construction; and maintenance and inspection following initial operation.
