A square chimney 24m height has an opening 1.25m x 1.25m inside and the external dimensions are 2.5m x 2.5m.

The wind intensity is 1.3KN/m2 on projected area and specific weight of the measure is 22KN/m2. Calculate the maximum and minimum stresses of the base of the chimney.

Wind pressure=1.3KN/m2W=22KN/m2y=2.52=1250mm

(i) Projected Area=24×2.5=60m2

(ii) Wind force(P)=Wind pressure X projected area=1.3×60=78KN=78×103N

(iii)$\textit{self weight} = W\hspace{0.05cm}\times\hspace{0.05cm}Volume\\ \hspace{02cm} = W\hspace{0.05cm}\times\hspace{0.05cm}A\hspace{0.05cm}\times\hspace{0.05cm}L\\ \hspace{02cm} = 22\hspace{0.05cm}\times\hspace{0.05cm}[(1.25\hspace{0.05cm}\times\hspace{0.05cm}1.25) - (2.5\hspace{0.05cm}\times\hspace{0.05cm}2.5)]\hspace{0.05cm}\times\hspace{0.05cm}24\\ …
