ABSTRACT
This report summarises the design analysis carried out on 1700 mm furnace stack. The
analysis is carried out based on procedures outlined in IS: 6533 (Part2): 1989, IS: 1893
(Part 4): 2005 and Finite Element Modeling for the stack. The Stack is analyzed for self-
weight, imposed load, wind and seismic loads. All the results have been summarized in
the form of tabulations, resultant displacement and stress contours. After studying the
stresses and deflections, comparison was made with the permissible values. It has
been demonstrated that the design meets all the engineering design criteria as per IS:
6533 (Part2): 1989, IS: 1893 (Part 4): 2005 and IS: 800 - 1984. Foundation load
calculations have also been provided.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The waste gases produced from the combustion of natural gas with excess of air is led
out to atmosphere through the stack (34.7M height). The stack is supported with a
supporting structure of height of 15984mm. It has a platform at a height of 27340 mm.
The sampling port is situated at a height of 28340 mm.
In the present stack, 14382 mm from the top of the stack is exposed to wind, while the
remaining height is enclosed in a building. The material of construction for stack body
and platforms is carbon steel (IS 2062 Gr. B), while for supporting structure it is St 42.
1.1 Assumptions:
1. The stack structure is considered as a thin shell. D/t Ratio (107.25) is greater
than 10. Therefore, thin shell elements 3D general shell element has been
employed.
2. The platform structure essentially consists of angle sections, flats and pipes.
These have been modeled as 3D beam elements.
3. Foundation bolt stresses have been provided for the worst combination of loads.
4. Theory of linear superposition has been applied for calculating stresses and
deflections from load combinations.
5. If any welds are to be done at site, the weld proportions are to be increased by
20% to take care of reduction in strength.
6. Wind speed within the building is assumed to be 5 m/s.
7. IS: 800 permits induced stresses to be exceeded by 33.3% on permissible
values for the case of wind load or earthquake load. As the state of stress in the
stack and supporting structure are within the limits, by Hooks law, we expect a
corresponding increase in the limits for deflections would be possible.

As per IS 800, when wind load or seismic load is considered, the permissible stress
can be exceeded by 33.33%. Hence the allowable stress in compression is 12.84 *
1.3333 = 17.12 Kgf/mm2 (168 MPa)
As per IS 800, when wind load or seismic load is considered, the permissible stress
can be exceeded by 33.33%. Hence the allowable stress is 79.46 * 1.3333 = 106
MPa (10.8 Kgf/mm2)
As per IS 800, when wind load or seismic load is considered, the permissible bolt
stress can be exceeded by 25%. Hence the allowable stresses are:

2.0 METHODOLOGY:
Refer to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 for finite element model of the stack. Using NISA
[Numerically Integrated Elements for System Analysis], the entire stack is modeled with
4-Noded plate elements while the supporting structure (stack stand) is made from 3D
beam elements. The FEM model consists of 6969 nodes and 7172 elements. Fig 2
shows finite element mesh pattern. The Stack and the supporting structure in FEM
model is considered fixed at their respective. The self-weight, wind loads and seismic
loads were applied to stack in the form of different load cases. Stress analysis was
carried out by Finite element software NISA. The Von-Mises stresses, maximum
compressive stress (Szz) and Resultant displacement were compared with the
allowable values for the given material of construction. Results were compared and
tabulated for all the load cases. Foundation load table and calculations were made for
the worst combination of loadings.
