Book excerpt: ASCE/SEI Standard 52-10 applies to fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) stacks-those stacks where the primary supporting shell is made of FRP. Design of Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Stacks outlines the considerations that must be made for both the mechanical and structural design; emphasizes what consideration must be taken for wind-and seismic-induced vibrations; gives guidelines for ultraviolet protection and selection of materials; states the requirements for lighting and lightning protection based upon existing building and federal codes; gives the requirements for climbing and access based upon current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards; emphasizes the important areas regarding fabrication and construction; and outlines areas requiring maintenance and inspection following initial operation.
