RE: Crane runway column and base plate design
Merry christmas...glad i'm not the only one stuck at work today!!!!
AISC has published a series of design guides:
1. Steel Design Guide Series 7: Industrial Buildings
2. Steel Design Guide 1: Column Base Plates
The copies I have are dated 1993 and address steel design issues regarding cranes. They are each 100 page or so paperbacks.
However, another publication that proved INCREDIBLY helpful for the last military facility that I designed that was a steel frame with a crane was:
"Guide for the Design and Construction of Mill Buildings" - AISE Technical Report No. 13. This guide walks you through the entire design process and helped me on my first crane design. About a 60 page paperback with the publication date of June 1997.
Good luck!
