How should the structure of a rectangular flue with openings in a steel chimney be designed?
Thread Content
A rectangular opening is made in a steel chimney; it is created by making an opening on the chimney shaft at an angle of 37 degrees from horizontal, starting from the bottom upward. How should the structural design and strength calculation (reinforcement design) for such a rectangular opening in the chimney be carried out? Are there any similar materials or reference books that can be used as guidance? I would appreciate advice from those with more experience in this field
Guys, could you give me some advice or at least point me in the right direction?:'
Take a look at the design codes or catalogs for steel chimneys
Well, it depends on the diameter of the chimney and the length and width of the flue. I’ve never seen chimneys with very large diameters, but for those with smaller diameters, such as 400 or 600 millimeters, welding the diameters together is usually sufficient. In general, the lower section of a chimney is thicker than its upper section.
We generally add flat steel grids at the openings in the cylinder to provide reinforcement
