flare stack design- earthquake and wind calculations

[DORU]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me about some international standards which could allow me to perform mechanical calculations and design for the flare stacks, high columns, steel exhaust chimneys etc ? I am especially refering to the vertical body (pipe) stability calculation and the eartquake/ wind verification. Also I am very interested in the anchor bolts calculations/ design.

Thanks,

The following is not an international standard, but it is a good reference and a good starting place. "Tall Stack Design Simplified" by Kanti K. Mahajan in Hydrocarbon Processing, September 1975, pp 217-220.

Dynamic effects make for interesting solutions. See Straek design. Or strache?
