Abstract
This paper reviews the prevailing international codal procedures to ev aluate the across-wind response of R/C chimneys. The disparities in th e codal estimates of across-wind moments as well as the load factor sp ecifications are examined from a reliability viewpoint. Conditions are also identified wherein the across-wind response, rather than the alo ng-wind response, governs the design.
