Runway beam BS 2853:1957
Runway beam BS 2853:1957
(OP)
I am checking an existing runway beam to BS 2853:1957. However I can not find horizontal load requirement in the standard. Where I live we apply 10% of the load horizontally to the beam. Is not there any horizontal loading requirements in BS 2853:1957?
In BS EN 1991‐3-2006 there is a 5% requirement but I am not sure if BS 2853 allowes to refer to BS EN 1991‐3??

In BS2573-1 Typical values for crane loads:
For vertical wheel loads:
1) Dynamic Factor with crane stationary = 1.30 (applied to lifted load only)
2) Dynamic Factor with crane moving = 1.25 (applied to lifted load, Crab weight and Girder)
For Horizontal wheel loads
For transverse surge wheel load(perpendicular to runway)
3) 10% of (Crab weight + SWL)
For longitudinal braking load(parallel to runway)
4) 5% of Static Wheel Load
As per Eurocode, attached worked example for crane design might be of help for you. It illustrates how to calculate the loadings and design a runway beam according to eurocode EN 1993-6.

Thanks for the responses. I've been particularly asked to work with BS 2853:1957 because the original design was done in reference with this standard.
neukcm,
I'll check BS2853 to see if I can refer to BS2573-1 which I am not very hopeful with. Thanks anyway.
