Three Dimensional Time History Analysis of Masonary Chimneys Considering the Soil-Structure Interaction


Abstract eng:
Chimneys are tall structures with a very high length compared with the body cross section dimensions. In Egypt, masonry chimneys are spread widely along with the masonry brick plants. In this paper, a three dimensional model will be constructed for the chimney considering the soil-structure interaction. The material of the chimney's body is made of masonry bricks as most of the chimneys in Egypt. The foundation of the chimney is RC raft footing. More than one type of soil will be considered in this study. Mohr-Coulomb model will be used to describe the behavior of the soil. Kobe, Northridge and Chi-Chi earthquakes records will be used as the bed rock excitation. The study is concerned with the horizontal and vertical displacements of the chimneys considering the different excitations and the soil types.
