Abstract

Abstract This paper presents design and materials considerations involved in the production of large, free standing glass reinforced plastic (GRP) industrial stacks. Because of large wind loads, such stacks must be designed with sophisticated structural analysis techniques, especially at load transfer points. This paper details such considerations for the world's tallest GRP stack.
