Lecture 4: Solved Problem: Example 1: A Tall Vertical Column 2.5 M in Outer Diameter and 42 M in Height Is To Be
Solution:
Design pressure = 4 ×1.2 = 4.8 Kg/cm2
Thickness of shell -
PD0 4.8× 2.5×103
= + c = 9.5mm + 2mm = 11.5mm
2 f J + P 2×780×0.8 + 4.8
Assuming standard plate thickness -10 mm.

As per the condition stress should be less than the permissible stress of the mtl .
x2 – 8.1016x – 924.38 = 0
x = 34.72 m.
Similarly estimate the combined stress under operating condition on down wind side.
