CHAPTER II: DESIGN CALCULATIONS

DESIGN CONCEPT

2.2

The footing dimensions was estimated based on over turning moment calculations with factor of safty 1.5 Checking for Sliding stability and soil capacity. Checking for Punching shear calculations for required reinforcement

DESIGN LOADS

As per manufacturer data sheet, the most critical design loads were considered for the case of crane in operation as follows: Moment (Over turning) M=4908 KN.m Horizontal force (Sliding) H=91KN gravity Load V=917 KN

2.3

LOADING COMBINATIONS

The given loads are mixed of dead loads, wind loads and live loads. However, a 1.5 ultimate factor can be considered as conservative load factor for concrete design. 2.4
GEOMETRY OF CRANE LEGS

The crane have a base dimensions with square shape of 1.98m side length. The fixing leg of 1.4m length should be embedded with 1.13m inside the footing. This means that the footing should has minimum thickness 1.40m.

2.5

OVER TURNING STABILITY CALCULATIONS

As per the figure below, the stability calculations were calculated as follows:

Figure 1: Stability against over turning

assume h=1.50m ==> over turning moment MOT = 4908+91*1.5 = 5044.5 KN.m footing weight = 25*1.5*L2 = 37.5L2 Stability moment = Mst = 917*L/2 + 37.5*L2*L/2 = 18.75 L3 + 458.5 L Use Factor of safty = F.O.S = 1.5 ==> 1.5=Mst / MOT ==> 18.75 L3 + 458.5 L - 7566.75 = 0 ==> L=6.5 m satisfy the equation.

CHECK SLIDING AND SOIL CAPACITY

- Sliding: Sliding coefficient is equal =tan where =angle of internal friction ==> 30 = 0.57, Use 0.5 Sliding force = H = 91KN resisting force = (V+W)* = (917+1584.375)*0.50 = 1250.7 >>91, OK - Soil capacity: soil stress = f = (V+W)/A MOT/(L*L2/6) A=footing area=L2 ==> f= 2501.375/42.25 4908/(6.53/6) = 59.2 107.23 Negative value is rejected ==> use another approach. refer to figure 2.

=tan

Figure 2: soil stress calculations

e=MOT/(V+W) = 4908/2501.375 = 1.96 m ==> r=1.29 m 0.5f*(3r)*L = (V+W) ==> 0.5f*3.87*6.5=2501.375 ==> f=198.88 KN/m2 < 300KN/m2, OK

CHECK PUNCHING

The fixing leg consists of several steel plates welded to the main shaft. Each plate of 350x350mm dimensions. The maximum force act for punching is considered for the case where the moments is diagonal on the footing. Fpunching = MOT/(2*2.32) +V/4 = 4908/3.25 + 917/4 = 1510.2+229.25=1739.45 KN fs= punching stress directly at plate edge = 1.5*1739450/(4*350*d) where d=footing depth = 1500-65=1435mm ==> fs=1.3MPa << 0.8fcu=5MPa (BS8110-1:1997, clause 3.7.7.2) it is obvious that the punching effect is very negligible.

2.8

REINFORCEMENT

For hign accuracy, the bending moment calculations were performed through finit element analysis. Autodesk ROBOT structural analysis software was used for that purpose. Note that only the large footing was considered (most critical) and the reinforcement was applied to the small one. The acting forces on the crane legs were calculated and applied to the model as follows: Compression side = M/2.3 + V/4 = 4908/2*2.3 + 917/4 = 1067+229.25=1296.25 KN Tension side = M/2.3 - V/4 = 4908/2*2.3 - 917/4 = 1067-229.25 =837.75 KN The fixing leg The following figures represent the footing geometry with acting loads, soil stress (As a verification on the manual calculations) and the service bending moments maps.
