EN 1998-6 establishes requirements, criteria, and rules for the design of tall
slender structures: towers, including bell-towers, intake towers, radio and TV-towers,
masts, chimneys (including free-standing industrial chimneys) and lighthouses.
Additional provisions specific to reinforced concrete and to steel chimneys are given in
Sections 5 and 6, respectively. Additional provisions specific to steel towers and to steel
guyed masts are given in Sections 7 and 8, respectively. Requirements are also given for
non-structural elements, such as antennae, the liner material of chimneys and other
