ROUYA HAS THE TALLEST STACK DN THt GORNTINENT Chimney on Horne Smelter at randa is over 420 Feet in Height. On more than one oceasion The Advance has had reference to the bg chimney stack at the Horne smelter at Noranda, Rouyn district, Quebee. This tmmense structure is of interest not only to the people of Rouyn but also to all in the North. It is the tallest reâ€"inforeed concrete chimney on the American continent and so has naturally attracted considerable attention. â€" The stack was erected last year and E. H.

The chimney, which is a unit of the copperâ€"smelting plant, produces draft for and carries off dust and gases from four roasting and two reverberatory furnaces and two conâ€" verters. Before reachng the chimney the gases pass through a Cottrell dust collector. The stack is designed for a capacity of 550,000 eu. ft. of gas per minute at temperatures from 300° F. to 450° F. Outside temperaâ€" ture ranges from minus 40 to plus 90 degrees F. Draft at the base is from 1% to 1% in. water column. _ The shaft is designed to withstand the efâ€" feets of acidic gases within and the combined loadings resulting from its own dead weight and a ‘horizontal wind pressure of 25 pounds per square foot of projected area. Its base conâ€" sists of a concrete ring 7 feet 6 inches deep, 35 feet outside diameter and 23 feet inside diameter, reinforeed inâ€" to the top and bottom with rings of 1 inch steel bars and with % inch bars arranged radially. The shaft is conâ€" nected to the base by means of 206 oneâ€"inch dowels, w hich start with hooks securely fastened under the botâ€" tom steel of the base and project upâ€" ward into the shell a sufficient disâ€" tance to provide ample bonds between the dowels and the concrete. Half the bars project 4 feet and the other half 11 feet 6 inches.. â€" The shell is reinforced with vertical and horizonâ€" tal steel} the former takes care of tension stresses resulting from the wind load and the vertical expansion from â€" temperature â€" changes. The The total area of steel required as total area of steel required at number of bars are selected to meet the necessary conditions and not to be spaced at too great a distance. To meet these conditions in this chimâ€" ney, the number of bars varies from 206 lâ€"inch rods at the base to 57 inch rods at the top. The horizontal steel withstands all coneumferential tension â€" arising from temperature variations in the chimney wall. It consists of electrically welded rectanâ€" rular wire fabric, with rods spaced 3 inches vertically and 16 inches horiâ€" zontally. To distribute the weight of the chimney properiy the wall is made heavy at the bottom decreasing in thickness towards the top, thus placâ€" .ing‘ the centre of gravity low in the ist‘rm-tm'e and increasing the stability. flue opening is 11 feet wide and 300 feet high and is located albout 20 feet above ground level. Addiâ€" , THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS, ONTARIO u t o m o b iles?‘‘ The chimney is lined for its entire with 4â€"inch acidâ€"resisting vitâ€" reous brick, laid in special acidâ€"proof is placed above, ‘below and on each mortar and built in 45â€"foot sections \from the concrete shell. An air space ‘of about 2 inches is maintained beâ€" \tween the lining and concrete shaft ; and at the junction between the seeâ€" ‘tions of lining, a lead flashing is inâ€" \stalled to protect the joint. A lead | coping covers the top of the lining, air space and shaft. As protection \against gases, the top 100 feet of the ‘outside and the entire inside of the ‘\concrete wall is covered with a speciâ€" ally prepared acidâ€"resisting bituâ€" mastic paint. tional concrete and steel reinforeing various sections is computed and a side of the opening. The concrete mixture for the base of the chimney consisted of one part cement, two parts sand and four parts gravel. The mix for the remainder of the shaft consisted of one part cement, two parts sand and three parts gravel, and the consistence of the mix was carefully regulated to seâ€" cure a uniform quality of conecrete. An average slump of 6 inches was maintained. The coarse aggregate was higchâ€"quality washed and sereened 1%, inch. . Fine aggregate consisted eravel, graded in size from /4 inch to of washed and sereened sand ranging in size to particles passing a 4â€"mesh screen. At a level 120 feet from the ground a steel platform was installed to exâ€" tend around oneâ€"fourth the cireumâ€" ference of the shell. This is used as an observation platform, from which readings and samples of gases are taken through openings in the chimâ€" ney. It is reached by way of a steelâ€" cuarded ladder that extends the enâ€" tire height of the shaft above the top of the breeching. The top 50 feet of the ladder is coated with 1â€"16 inch lead to protect it from acid fumes. _ The contractor‘s special sectional allâ€"steel forms were used in the conâ€" struction of the concrete shell. The forms consist of internal and external seoments, adjustable to any wall thickness or diameter. A seaffold is suspended from the outside of the forms for the use of workmen in makâ€" ing adjustments and finishing the conâ€" crete surface. A wooden seaffold was erected inside the chimney as work progressed; this supported a special ‘‘eat head,"" consisting of four crossed timber beams. _ From these the forms were suspended, and above them was arranged a derrick arm, from which the hoisting cables exâ€" tended down the inside to the conâ€" crete loading platform and down the ‘outside to the hoisting engine. ouihith m ie c ie es en e e s e Lightning protection consisted of: twelve points attached to the top of the shaft and grounded by means of two cables terminating in plates set in permanently moist earth.. The top 50 feet of the system was coated with 1â€"16 inch lead. _A large castâ€"iron door as the base provides access to the lower portion of the chimney. the meeting, an optimistic report of Construction operations hbegan in April, 1927 and were completed in 162 days. Noranda being located _ at about 49 degrees north latitude, it was necessary to schedule the work during the season when no extremely cold weather would be encountered.
