The geometric properties which are assumed in the design example are summarized in
section 1.2 and the mechanical details of the crane are defined in section 1.3. Further
assumptions for the crane are given where they are necessary.

*HQHUDO
The dynamic effects of a crane structure are taken into account by magnification factors
which are defined in Eurocode 1 - Part 3.
'\QDPLFPDJQLILFDWLRQIDFWRUM
The magnification factor ϕ1 takes into account vibrational excitation of the crane
structure due to lifting the hoist load off the ground and is to be applied to the self-
weight of the crane.
6 of 36 2011-08-18
Design example for Eurocode 3 – Part 6: Cranes supporting structures -7-
'\QDPLFPDJQLILFDWLRQIDFWRUM
The magnification factor ϕ2 is only to be applied to the hoistload and takes into account
the dynamical effects when the hoistload is transferred from the ground to the crane.
The magnification factor depends on the hoisting class of the crane. It is assumed that
the crane is classified as HC 3. Recommendations about the classification of cranes are
given in Annex B of Eurocode 1 - Part 3.
Assumption:
The parameters ϕ2,min and β2 were obtained from table 2.5 of EC 1- Part 3.
'\QDPLFPDJQLILFDWLRQIDFWRUM
The magnification factor ϕ3 considers the dynamical effects when a payload is sudden
released. These dynamic effects occur at cranes which use magnets as hoist tools. In the
design example it is assumed that no part of the payload is able to sudden release.
Assumption:
No sudden release or dropped part of the load.
'\QDPLFPDJQLILFDWLRQIDFWRUM
This magnification factor is to be applied to the self-weight of the crane and to the
payload, if the rail track observes not the tolerances specified in ENV 1993 - 6.
Assumption:
The tolerances for rail tracks are observed as specified in ENV 1993 - 6.
'\QDPLFPDJQLILFDWLRQIDFWRUM
The magnification factor ϕ5 takes into account the dynamic effects caused by drive
forces and depends on the characteristic of the drive forces.
Assumption:
The drive force change smoothly.

*HQHUDO
In this section the minimum and the maximum vertical wheel loads of the crane are cal-
culated according to table 3.1 which was obtained from Eurocode 1 - Part 3 (Table 2.2).
Table 3.1 defines the groups of loads which are to be considered as one characteristic
crane load, when additional actions apply at the structure (for example: self-weight,
wind action, snow). With the definition of the groups of loads the relevant combinations
of the magnification factors are given.

1RWH It is assumed that the horizontal loads are resisted by the top flange. The rail is
rigid fixed with clamps on the top flange. Therefore the net section properties
of the crane runway girder are considered. The cross-section properties of the
rail are not taken into account though the rail is rigid fixed.

The fatigue assessment is carried out for the crane runway girder on the basis of
nominal stress ranges.

Provided that the crane is classified into loading class S6 the following values are
obtained from Eurocode 1 – Part 3:
