Paddington,
Thanks for the comments. I realize that attempting to limit the truss deflection to 1/4" is unreasonable but I wanted to get someone else's take on the differential deflection issue. Oddly enough I spoke in detail with the crane manufacturer's rep and they were no help. What you have...
Hello all,
I was hoping someone can shed some light on the topic of differential deflection of a crane runway beam for me. I have a situation where the runway beam on one side of the building is spanning 28' and on the other it is supported by a 130' clear span truss. These runway beams are...
