Abstract

Most of the brick masonry chimneys located in earthquake-prone areas were built long before the current design codes were adopted, which poses a great threat to the sustainable operation and development of the city industry as a whole. This article presents a consistent example of assessing the deficit of earthquake resistance of a brick masonry chimney and gives general conclusions about changes in main coefficients of designed codes. This study aims to quantify the deficit of earthquake resistance of brick masonry chimney according to the relevant Building Codes “SP 14.13330.2018 Construction in seismic areas”.
