Abstract
This chapter describes the numerical modelling of industrialmasonry chimneys where
seismic forces are considered. A brief description and history of the chimneys is
included as are the experimental results obtained from in-situ tests. These results are
used to calibrate a numerical model employed to reproduce the seismic behaviour
of an industrial masonry chimney according to a response spectrum. Material and
structure modelling are explained and details about the seismic calculations provided.
Finally, alternative strengthening arrangements using fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP)
are discussed and conclusions drawn.
