RCC chimney for 800Mw thermal power plant

Abstract

A Chimney is an industrial structure used to ventilate hot flue gases from the furnace to the outside living atmosphere.The Chimneys are typically vertical, or as near as possible to vertical, to ensure that the gases flow smoothly. As a result of the procedure of chimney is ability to handle Dead load, Wind load, Earthquake load and Temperature load. In this research, achimney is starting from basic calculations to analytical calculations. A Chimney analysis for the thermal power plant, the location wastaken as Vijayawada, (AP). Where as the basic wind speed and seismic zone were considered only in that particular location. Analysis was about how to calculate the height, calculating area and volumeif the thermal plant generates 800MW power. Analysis was calculated by using Indian code IS 4998-2015.in manual and software. STAAD Pro and ANSYS are the softwares used for the validation.
