| Abstract: |
The paper presents some aspects regarding the FE Analyses, structural rehabilitation and structural health monitoring (SHM) program for a pair of reinforced concrete chimneys. The structural rehabilitation was compulsory since the two chimneys presented numerous large vertical cracks. Therefore, the interventions that were designed involved, among others, the replacement of thermal insulation, repairing of horizontal reinforcement and mounting of prestressed horizontal steel belts that are to generate compression stresses into the concrete, thus preventing the re-opening of the cracks. Three main topics are covered in the paper: the structural faults and the solutions for rehabilitation of the chimneys, performed FE Analyses and the implementation of the SHM program. |
