Local Flange Failure
Local Flange Failure
(OP)
I am trying determine the flange capacity for an I-beam with a traveling trolly hoist / crane?
This is a 4 point load that will be applied from each of the trolly wheels. The capacity of the trolly crane is 4,000 lbs and is hanging from a W8x15 wide flange beam.
Can you please help me determine the capacity of the flange (for local failure).
Thank you.

I noticed in your spread sheet the allowable deflections for the simple span of a monorail is listed at L/450.
In CMAA the allowable deflections are listed at L/600 in section 3.5.5.1.
Am I missing something? Thanks.

I use L/450 for cantilevers and jib arms.
This is one of Tomanovich's spreadsheets.
Maybe he could be contacted?
