Code for Tall Slender Stacks

[PEFLWI]

What code governs the design of tall slender stacks?

Whichever one is selected and or written by the governing body in charge of building codes for the country/state/county/city/province/district/ward/whatever where the tall slender stack will be built.

(Sorry - couldn't resist.) This paper might be helpful. ASCE also has a guide for wind loads on petrochemical facilities that I believe has a section on steel stacks.

SMACNA standards are what a previous firm I worked for has used. You're probably going to want to buy this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://store.smacna.org/guide-for-free-standing-steel-stack-construction/[/url]. There's another guide for guyed stacks too.

Since this forum for structural engineering , i want to understand structural design of chimneys , stacks..

There is a code in Eurozone [BS EN 1993-3-2-2006] -- Eurocode 3. Design of steel structures. Towers, masts and chimneys.
This is mandatory document and law resource at Eurozone so one can reach this document free of charge.

EDIT : I found another document , AISI Steel plate Engineering Data , Section 5 ; SELF SUPPORTED STACKS .




Use it up, wear it out;
Make it do, or do without.

ASME has a standard for steel stacks that is often used in the US:
