Crane load in a foundation drawing
Crane load in a foundation drawing
(OP)
When tabulating foundation loads, do you put the specified loads for a crane under self weight only or do you include impact factors (not to be confused with load factors) as well?

I suggest that the tabulated load include this 125% of rated capacity. Part of the reason for the careful overload test (hopefully essentially static) is to allow for vertical "impact" loads if a careless operator "yanked" on a heavy lift or did something else to cause a similar impulse loading.
