Masonry Chimney
Masonry Chimney
(OP)
I have been asked if I can design a chimney that is to replace an old existing one. The height above roof line is 25'. I have never designed a masonry chimney before and feel a little reluctant to take on the task but I am also curious to know how it's done. How exactly do you go about designing the structure? Is there some sort of code or guideline to design chimneys?

I would use the provisions of ACI 530 (the MSJC code).

Isn't chimney design kind of a specialty thing that very few engineers know about?
