Impact load for steel beam
Impact load for steel beam
(OP)
I need to design a steel beam for impact load. Does AISC manual have a provision for this kind of design? I would appreciate any help.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

Thanks for the very quick response.
Do you know how to calculate impact factor (section in AISC 13th ed.)?

I don't know where it is in the 13th Edition, or if it is even in there.
Unless it has changed recently, the "minimum" impact load is 1.15(W) where W includes the weight of the hoist itself.
To this 1.15 number, you have to add 0.05 for every ft/min of your hoist lifting speed up to a "maximum" impact factor of 1.5
Try to locate the publication ANSI MH27.1
It will be in there under section 6, I believe.
FYI, our company's design minimum impact factor starts at 1.25 and goes up to 1.5
Hope this helps!

Yes, but why would one want to design to less than what is considered acceptable by the manufacturers of the hoist equipment. Even though I've never patented any monorail I've designed, I've designed based on this publication. I've been in a plant where the monorail's deflection exceeded the amount of slope the hoist could move the load. It wasn't pretty.
My $0.02, and I guarantee anyone else who's been in the industrial business for long, would throw their $0.02 in on top of mine.
