This article analyzes the causes of the collapse of a high-rise chimney in Petropavlovsk. A study of the factors of long-term (over 60 years) operation of a high-altitude (H=150 m) chimney was carried out. The analysis of the constructive solution of the pipe was carried out, and the study of the operating conditions was performed. To theoretically assess the technical condition and stress-strain state factors (SSS) of the collapsed chimney, automated verification calculations were carried out based on the actual parameters and characteristics obtained during the last technical inspection. An automated verification calculation of SSS factors determining the bearing capacity of an object (its strength, rigidity, reliability, and durability) has been performed. Theoretically, the physical wear of the object has also been carried out. Based on the study of the available technical documentation and conducting a continuous, detailed instrumental examination of the facility, the expert organization established the significant causes that led to the pipe accident.
