Abstract
In this paper the vortex induced vibration of a 50m steel chimney under wind excitation is discussed A
steel chimney of length 50m is modeled as a cantilever structure subjected to two degrees of freedom
Lumped parameter approach was employed to estimate the natural frequencies of vibration It was shown
among other findings that the intensity of wind loading varies with chimney height with maximum value
at chimney top and minimum value at the base and the frequency of vortex shedding due to wind
excitation was found to be greater in value than the fundamental frequency of vibration showing that the
chimney may go into resonance leading to a very large and severe deflection and damage to the steel
chimney in the form of fatique during the expected lifetime of the structure
Keywords Wind induced vibration steel chimney degrees of freedom lumped mass wind excitation
10 Introduction
A chimney is used to emit exhaust gases higher up in the atmosphere to facilitate diffusion of gases Asteel chimney is ideally suited for process work where a short heat up period and low thermal capacity are
required The effect of wind excited vibration on tall steel chimney is a matter of great concern to both
structural and design engineers as this may lead to undesirable physical phenomenon called resonance if
one of the natural frequencies of vibration is excited[1-10]
The effect is large and severe deflection and
damage to the structure Wind induced vibration of a tall steel chimney is due to vortex shedding process[11] The vortices shed off from a bluff body as the flow region is separated inducing a fluctuating force on
the chimney leading to chimney vibration The amplitude of vibration of the chimney is dependent on the
intensity of this fluctuating force
In this paper a 50m steel chimney is modeled as a cantilever structure subjected to two-degree of freedom
to determine the fundamental frequency of vibration due to wind excitation The value was compared
with the frequency of the vortex shedding due to wind excitation to investigate the possibility of the
chimney going into resonance
20 Formulation of Mathematical Model
Consider a flexural beam with distributed masses 21 mand m at nodal points 1 and 2 respectively as
shown in Figure 1 For self-excited vibration the forces of inertia due to masses 21 mand m are the onlyexternal source of excitation The generalized displacement equation of motion for masses 21 mand m at
individual nodal points is given by

The wind induced vibration of a 50m steel chimney subjected to two-degree of freedom using lumped
mass approach has been presented From Table 1 it can be seen that the intensity of wind loading on the
chimney varies with height with maximum value at the top and minimum value at the chimney baseFrom Table 2 it can be seen that the fundamental frequency (1986rads) is much lower in value than the
frequency of the vortex shedding due to wind excitation showing that resonance may occur leading to a
very large and severe deflection and damage to the steel chimney
50 Conclusion
The dynamic analysis of a 50m steel chimney modeled as a two-degree of freedom structural systemunder wind excitation was carried out using a lumped mass approach The results of the analysis showed
that the fundamental frequency of vibration of the chimney was much lower in value than the frequency
of the vortex shedding showing the possibility of the chimney going into resonance resulting in large
displacement and stresses which may cause fatique failure during the excepted lifetime of the chimney
Guyed cables should be provided between the top of the chimney and the ground to minimize the effect of
flow induced vibration The intensity of wind loading is a function of the height with maximum value at
chimney top and minimum value at chimney base

The wind induced vibration of a 50m steel chimney subjected to two-degree of freedom using lumped
mass approach has been presented From Table 1 it can be seen that the intensity of wind loading on the
chimney varies with height with maximum value at the top and minimum value at the chimney baseFrom Table 2 it can be seen that the fundamental frequency (1986rads) is much lower in value than the
frequency of the vortex shedding due to wind excitation showing that resonance may occur leading to a
very large and severe deflection and damage to the steel chimney
50 Conclusion
The dynamic analysis of a 50m steel chimney modeled as a two-degree of freedom structural systemunder wind excitation was carried out using a lumped mass approach The results of the analysis showed
that the fundamental frequency of vibration of the chimney was much lower in value than the frequency
of the vortex shedding showing the possibility of the chimney going into resonance resulting in large
displacement and stresses which may cause fatique failure during the excepted lifetime of the chimney
Guyed cables should be provided between the top of the chimney and the ground to minimize the effect of
flow induced vibration The intensity of wind loading is a function of the height with maximum value at
chimney top and minimum value at chimney base

The wind induced vibration of a 50m steel chimney subjected to two-degree of freedom using lumped
mass approach has been presented From Table 1 it can be seen that the intensity of wind loading on the
chimney varies with height with maximum value at the top and minimum value at the chimney baseFrom Table 2 it can be seen that the fundamental frequency (1986rads) is much lower in value than the
frequency of the vortex shedding due to wind excitation showing that resonance may occur leading to a
very large and severe deflection and damage to the steel chimney
50 Conclusion
The dynamic analysis of a 50m steel chimney modeled as a two-degree of freedom structural systemunder wind excitation was carried out using a lumped mass approach The results of the analysis showed
that the fundamental frequency of vibration of the chimney was much lower in value than the frequency
of the vortex shedding showing the possibility of the chimney going into resonance resulting in large
displacement and stresses which may cause fatique failure during the excepted lifetime of the chimney
Guyed cables should be provided between the top of the chimney and the ground to minimize the effect of
flow induced vibration The intensity of wind loading is a function of the height with maximum value at
chimney top and minimum value at chimney base

The wind induced vibration of a 50m steel chimney subjected to two-degree of freedom using lumped
mass approach has been presented From Table 1 it can be seen that the intensity of wind loading on the
chimney varies with height with maximum value at the top and minimum value at the chimney baseFrom Table 2 it can be seen that the fundamental frequency (1986rads) is much lower in value than the
frequency of the vortex shedding due to wind excitation showing that resonance may occur leading to a
very large and severe deflection and damage to the steel chimney
50 Conclusion
The dynamic analysis of a 50m steel chimney modeled as a two-degree of freedom structural systemunder wind excitation was carried out using a lumped mass approach The results of the analysis showed
that the fundamental frequency of vibration of the chimney was much lower in value than the frequency
of the vortex shedding showing the possibility of the chimney going into resonance resulting in large
displacement and stresses which may cause fatique failure during the excepted lifetime of the chimney
Guyed cables should be provided between the top of the chimney and the ground to minimize the effect of
flow induced vibration The intensity of wind loading is a function of the height with maximum value at
chimney top and minimum value at chimney base
