Chimneys are distinguished requirements for Power generation and other Manufacturing areas which are vital to be constructed vertically to discharge combustion gases and chemical waste gases to the environment. Due to the hasty growth of mechanization and escalating the requirement to control of Air pollution, the construction of tall Chimneys becomes a regular structure in contemporary circumstances. Tall chimney shells generally designed to resist vertical and lateral loads especially due to the effect of Wind and Earthquake. RCC Chimney shell will transfer these vertical and lateral loads to its foundation system. Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) is the response of soil which impacts the behavior of the structure or behavior of the structure which affects on response of soil. Soil Structure Interaction is essential for tall structures which especially resting on soft soil strata. This review work presents a widespread appraisal of the research presented in the area of RCC chimney and communicates most recent enlightenments and improvements happened in the analysis and design. This paper makes an attempt on focusing the modeling features of RCC chimneys which contains analysis, design aspects and several case studies, with the help of various software programs with the effects of lateral loads and soil structure interaction. The present review paper also corresponds to a complete anthology of the research accomplished on RCC chimney and will gives rationalized technical information for the researchers.
