Deformed crane girder
Deformed crane girder
(OP)
a crane girder made of welded plates was accidently dropped during manufacturing and it was deformed in the lateral direction. in other words it now has like a camber affecting the bottom and top flanges laterally. it is like a permanent lateral deflection...
it is still good for serviceability, it will not affect the hoist running on its bottom flange.
however how do we define if it is still good structurally?
we have made some welding tests and it was OK.
what about other factors that need to be considered?
thanks for your help

If the sweep is greater than the permitted tolerance, it will introduce a torsional load that was not in the original design, then you need to straighten it or have a structural engineer check the design for it.
