Selecting bridge beam and runway beam for bridge crane
Selecting bridge beam and runway beam for bridge crane
(OP)
Can anyone direct me to a reference/website that would give some helpful information on selecting abridge beam and runway beam for a bridge crane. I will be purchasing the crane end trucks but I need to design the bridge beam and the runway beam. I can design the I-beams based on the hoist load at the center of a simply supported beam but I was wondering if there are any standards that are in use for assumed side loading, max deflection, etc.
Thanks in advance for any help.
