Seismic performance of a tall RC chimney structure with an emphasis on vertical seismic behavior using shaking table test

Key Points

• Vertical seismic behavior showed significant impact on performance during simulations, indicating structural weaknesses.
• The shaking table test revealed critical data on dynamic responses, measuring displacements and accelerations effectively.
• Assessment using shaking table tests provided deep insight into the structural response to seismic forces under varying conditions.
• Findings highlight the need for enhanced design protocols for tall chimney structures to improve their earthquake resilience.
