The provisions of IS: 1893-1984 for earthquake analysis and design of tall chimneys have been reviewed. It is seen that the design seismic force specified by the Indian code is very much on the lower side. For the given design spectrum the code overestimates base shear by 4570%, and therefore the corresponding expression in the code needs to be revised.
