RE: monorail beam
having said that, there are several text books that have solved examples on of which is AISC Design Guide 7: Industrial Buildings--Roofs to Anchor Rods (Second Edition)by Dr. James Fisher. Additional resources and references are as follows:
1. American National Standards Institute (ANSI): MH27.1 - "Underhung Cranes and Monorail Systems"
2. American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) 9th Edition Allowable Stress Design (ASD) Manual (1989)
3. Allowable Bending Stresses for Overhanging Monorails" - by N. Stephen Tanner - AISC Engineering Journal (3rd Quarter, 1985)
4. Crane Manufacturers Association of America, Inc. (CMAA) - Publication No. 74 - "Specifications for Top Running & Under Running Single Girder Electric Traveling Cranes Utilizing Under Running Trolley Hoist" (2004)
5. Design of Monorail Systems" - by Thomas H. Orihuela Jr., PE (www.pdhengineer.com)
You need to account for impact loading, gravity load, trolley, hoist and chain bucket weights, lateral loading. Special attention must be paid if you have a cantilever and what effective length to use. There are several schools of thought on this one. Local stresses in teh beam flange are critical as well.
Good luck.
