ASCE 52-10

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 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 the ultraviolet protection, 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.
