How is the stress distributed at the base cross-section of a circular chimney subjected to wind pressure (causing bending)?
Verified Solution4 OptionsUpdated: October 2026👁️1 View
Share:
- 1Uniform compressive stress across the entire base of the chimney
- 2Maximum shear stress at the centre and zero stress on the edges
- 3Maximum compressive stress on the leeward edge and tensile stress on the windward edge✓
- 4Maximum compressive stress on the windward edge and tensile stress on the leeward edge
Correct answer
Maximum compressive stress on the leeward edge and tensile stress on the windward edge
