Beam design

Beam design

Beam design

(OP)
I need to design a 25 ton crane and beam assembly. it will get fastened to a roof column on the side of a factory interior. The other end is to be linked from the a roof truss or something above capable of supporting any ideas how to begin.

RE: Beam design

I think you need to be more specific.  Are you talking about installing a monorail beam or a crane runway system or a crane?

What type of application?  Warehouse or Steel Mill?  Used once a week or 24/7?

  

RE: Beam design

if you really do not know how to begin, i would advice you  to hire a design or design and fabrication according to your specifications.
such appliance has to be designed and build according to some recognized code which will define the safety factors and other important parameters that will lead to safe and efficient product.

RE: Beam design

Thanks for the site information. I am trying to design it for 24/7 use and it is to be a single w beam used as a track and main supporting member or beam i am just not sure when breaking down the applied forces how many time or where exactly along the 5 meter beam i should anticapate and design the greatest load to be or if i should just assume the maximum could exist any where along it. I would like to see some cad drawings if anyone may have some ready. Cheers
