Appendix A - Notation

Gives material, construction, and design requirements for circular cast in place reinforced concrete chimneys. Covers minimum loadings for the design of reinforced concrete chimneys and contains methods for determining the concrete and reinforcement required as a result of these loadings. The method of analysis applies mainly to chimneys. Equations are provided for determining the temperature gradient through the concrete resulting from the difference in temperature of the gases inside the chimney and the surrounding atmosphere. Methods for combining the effects of dead and wind (or earthquake) loads with temperature both vertically and circumferentially are included. These methods allow the designer to establish minimum concrete and reinforcement requirements.
