Wind Load on 8"Dia.Pipe Exhaust Stack
Wind Load on 8"Dia.Pipe Exhaust Stack
(OP)
Can anybody assist me in determining the deflection at the top of a 8"dia. stainless steel Sch.#40 Pipe x 20Ft. high Deisel Exhaust Vent Stack. Its anchored at its base and guided at the roof at 82.5", with 157.5" above the roof, the wind load is 400 lbs. force.
Usually I do simple calculations on steel support frames for HVAC equipment, but occassionally something different pops up.
Thanks in advance.

The deflection at the top of the stack is 0.24892" (approx. 1/4"), based upon the data you posted.
