*HQHUDO

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.

*HRPHWULFSURSHUWLHV

The following geometric properties are assumed in the design example for the crane:

Span length of the crane bridge: 15,00 m


Wheel spacing a: 2,50 m
Min. spacing between crab and supports emin: 0,00 m

0HFKDQLFDOSURSHUWLHV

The following mechanical properties are defined for the crane:


)LJXUH'HILQLWLRQRIWKHKRLVWORDGDQGWKHVHOIZHLJKWRIDFUDQH

Self-weight of the crane Qc1 : 60,0 kN

*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.

ϕ1 = 1,1 (upper value of the vibrational pulses) (EC 1- P 3: Table 2.4)

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:

Hoisting class of the crane: HC 3


vh = 6 m/min
6
ϕ 2 = ϕ 2,min + β 2 v h = 1,15 + 0,51 ⋅ = 1,20 (EC 1- P 3: Table 2.4)
60

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.

ϕ3 = 1,00 (EC 1- P 3: Table 2.4)

'\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.

ϕ4 = 1,00 (EC 1- P 3: Table 2.4)

'\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.

ϕ5 = 1,50 (EC 1- P 3: Table 2.6)

*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.

In the design example it is assumed that the rail is rigid fixed with clamps on the crane
runway girder.

The benefit effects of the rigid fixed rail on the design resistance are not taken into
account in the design example (see 5.3.3 (2) of EC 3 - Part 6)

number of load cycles with more than 50 % of the full payload is smaller than 10000
