Overview

EN 13084-2:2007 - "Free‑standing chimneys - Part 2: Concrete chimneys" (CEN) sets particular requirements and performance criteria for the design and construction of cast‑in‑situ and prefabricated concrete free‑standing chimneys. It ensures mechanical resistance and stability in accordance with the general rules of EN 13084‑1 and delegates to Eurocode concrete rules (EN 1992‑1‑1) unless otherwise stated. The standard covers materials, material properties, structural design (including 2nd‑order effects and thermal actions), detailing, workmanship and quality control; normative annexes address thermal stress analysis and crack‑width limits.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Applies to cast‑in‑situ and precast concrete chimneys; chimneys attached to buildings follow EN 13084‑1 clause 1.
• Materials:
  • Minimum normal‑weight concrete strength for cast‑in‑situ: C25/30 (EN 206‑1 referenced).
  • Lightweight aggregate concrete for prefabricated elements: density class D1.2 or higher (EN 206‑1 / EN 1520).
  • Reinforcement and concrete cover requirements per EN 1992‑1‑1.
• Material properties: Provides rules (and a formula) for mean tensile strength fctm and requires elevated‑temperature properties from EN 1992‑1‑2.
• Structural design:
  • Actions per EN 13084‑1 and combinations per EN 1990.
  • Second‑order moments (P‑Δ effects) must be considered; an approximate method is given (assumptions include chimney height < 300 m and near‑uniform geometry).
  • Partial safety factors recommended (example values): γG unfavourable 1.35, γG favourable 1.0, γW 1.5, γT 1.5, γE 1.0.
  • Verification at ultimate and serviceability limit states, including thermal and wind effects, creep, shrinkage and cracking.
• Detailing & workmanship: Minimum reinforcement rules, minimum wall thickness and cover, bedding mortar for prefabricated joints, reinforcement duct infill, splicing, transport reinforcement for precast elements.
• Quality control: Factory and site checks for cast‑in‑situ and prefabricated chimneys; annexes for thermal stress analysis (A) and crack‑width limits (B).

Applications and users

EN 13084‑2:2007 is used by:

• Structural and civil engineers designing free‑standing concrete chimneys
• Chimney and precast concrete manufacturers and fabricators
• Construction contractors and site supervisors executing chimneys
• Building authorities, inspectors and compliance officers reviewing chimney safety Practical uses include design verification for wind, thermal and seismic loads; selection of concrete and reinforcement; detailing precast joints and transport reinforcement; and establishing QA/QC procedures.

σ is the stress;
Ecm is the modulus of elasticity of concrete;
ε is the strain. The stiffening effect of the concrete in the tension zone may be taken into account in chimneys with continuous vertical reinforcement. 6.2.3.2 Approximate method The approximation is based on the following assumptions:  full utilization of the cross-sections with respect to the local load carrying capacity;  consideration of the tension stiffening effects of the concrete;  chimney height less than 300 m;  no consideration of deflection effects due to imperfections and rotation of the foundation;  constant diameter and wall thickness or nearly linear reduction of one or both of them over the chimney height.
