Features: This manual explains how to apply the new chimney design code and summarizes the research findings of the new chimney design code. In scientific experiments, it summarizes the experimental research results on the vertical seismic behavior of chimneys, the experimental research results on the load-bearing capacity of reinforced concrete chimneys, the experimental research results on the serviceability of reinforced concrete chimneys, the experimental research results on the underground temperature field of reinforced concrete chimney foundations, the experimental research results on hollow shell foundations, the experimental research results on the temperature of brick chimney shells, and the experimental research results on the circular plate foundations of reinforced concrete chimneys. In theoretical calculations, it summarizes the calculation models for vertical seismic behavior, the calculation models for the load-bearing capacity and serviceability limit state of chimney shells, and the calculation models for the underground temperature field of chimney foundations, among others. It includes sleeve-type, multi-tube, and steel chimneys. It introduces corrosion protection for chimneys and waterproofing design for flues. Calculation examples are provided for various types of chimneys, flues, and foundations, facilitating their application in engineering design.
