Opis

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 upon existing building and federal codes;
• requirements for climbing and access based upon current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards;
• the important areas regarding fabrication and construction; and
• maintenance and inspection following initial operation.
