Replacing Concrete Corbel with a Steel Plate.
Replacing Concrete Corbel with a Steel Plate.
(OP)
Hello
I designed a corbel for a bridge crane, but now the architect came back and said that he needed additional clearance (from the floor to the bottom of the corbel). They do not want to raise the roof, nor lower the slab. Being that the case, I need to find another way to support my bridge crane. I was thinking of a thick steel plate embedded into my column and cantilevering out, has anyone done that before?
Thanks

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
RE: Replacing Concrete Corbel with a Steel Plate.
Capacity of the Crane: 20 tons
Span : 55'
Lifting Height: 26'-0"
Weight of Trolley: 3,800 lbs
Weight of Bridge : 21,540 lbs
At the end, I ended up using a concentrated load of 74 kips to my supporting plate, 8" away from the back of my column.
Thanks

i think it's doable, but i'm not convinced you're going to save much head room. sometimes it's ok for structural to drive some of the decisions in a building and a buildings with 50' bridge cranes seems like one to me.

is the primary purpose of this particular building/room to house a bridge crane? if so, then why is something like headroom at the top of a stair mezzanine governing one of the most important connections in the building?
