The coefficient of variation of peak values determined from
similar samples would be somewhat higher. The sample
lengths employed in the field studies varied from a maximum of 20 minutes to a minimum of 1 minute. At the
longest sample length, the coefficient of variation is roughly
10% while for 1 minute samples it approaches 50%. Of the
seven field studies reported here, five have been described
in detail in the literature. 5-9 The results from the remaining

Chimney No 2
The data for Chimney No 2 was again provided by
Rumman. m Unfortunately, the observations are very
limited and only one reliable measure of the peak tip
displacement was obtained. The displacement was the
maximum observed by a ground based transit during an
observation period of about 15 minutes durinB_which the
wind speed at a height of 76 m was 'gusting to 27 m/s'.
Visual observations of the chimney during strong winds
suggest that the one reliable measurement obtained was in
fact near the critical speed. The predictions are based on a
theoretical frequency of 0.37 Hz and no information
concerning the actual frequency was available to the
authors.
Chimney No 3
The properties of Chimney No 3 are fully described by
Melbourne et al. s A well designed experiment was, most
unfortunately, severely handicapped by a lack of wind. At
no time during the period over which the chimney was
instrumented was it subjected to sustained winds in the
vicinity of the critical speed of 20 m/s and the only observations of interest were limited to thunderstorms of comparatively short duration. It was, therefore, necessary to
limit the sampling periods to 5 minutes with a consequent
loss in reiiabifity. In addition to the results presented in
Figure 5 some other observations are worthy of note.

Chimney No 4
The experimental program for Chimney No 4 is fully
described by Muller and Niesser 6 although the results
presented in that publication show an inconsistency which
has been discussed and, it is believed, resolved by Basu and
Vickery. n The corrected measurements are shown in
Figure 6. The observed motions are consistently above the
predictions with the discrepancy at maximum response
being roughly 30%.

Chimney No 5
The experimental program for Chimney No 5 has been
fully described by Christensen and Askegaard, 7 the detailed
observations were kindly made available to the authors
and have been re-analysed by Basu 12 in considerable detail.
The results presented in Figure 7 show a marked discrepancy between the predicted and observed tip displacements.
The maxima are in fair agreement but the variations with
speed are completely different. This major discrepancy
prompted a more detailed study and use was made of
measured values of ~L derived from pressure tappings at
a height of 118 m above ground. It was found that if the
quantity, )~(h)/~L, was examined then the variation with
wind speed did indeed follow the predicted form although
the observed values were roughly 25% below the predictions as shown in Figure 8. A further analysis of the data
indicated a strong dependence of CL on the intensity of
turbulence as shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 shows the variation of CL (total), the full spectrum value of CL, as a

200 m chimney
Tip displacements of a 200 m, 15 m diameter reinforced
concrete chimney have been reported by Sanada and Nakamura ~3 but since no information was presented in regard to
the structural properties no comparison with predictions
was possible. The results obtained, however, include valuable
observations of the mean drag and the r.m.s, lift and drag
coefficients measured at 140 m above ground. Selected
results from the work of Sanada and Nakamura are shown
in Figure 13 and of particular interest is the variation of

Relative significance of drag loads
330
One advantage of working with the approximate relationships (equations (1) and (3)) is that it permits a more
general exploration of trends than is possible with a more
exact computer solution. The mean modal coefficient
induced by drag loads (do) can be computed for a chimney
with a straight taper if it is assmned, as before, that the
mode shape is of the form, if(z) = (z/h) 2, and that the
mean wind profile follows a power law with an exponent
a. A simple analysis yields the result :

For a typical gust factor of 2 the ratio ac/av will not exceed
(4/3) v : and will approach (1 + (8D/#v)~) u2 as the lateral
loads become more dominant. It can be concluded that if
the peak lateral loads exceed the peak drag loads then the
maximum combined load will be no greater than 115% of
the computed peak lateral load and it is adequate to combine the across-wind (lateral) and drag responses using the
approximation:
