This Standard outlines the important mechanical and structural engineering considerations for stacks where the primary supporting shell is made of FRP. Topics include: considerations pertaining to wind and seismic-induced vibrations; guidelines for the ultraviolet protection and selection of materials; requirements for lighting and lightning protection based upon existing building and federal codes; requirements for climbing and access based upon current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards; the important areas regarding fabrication and construction; and maintenance and inspection following initial operation.
