Crane Beam Deflection 3

[dik]

Is there a code related article for crane beam deflection? I've usually used L/480 or 1/2" maximum. I was wondering if this was quantified, somewhere. Thanks in advance.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

Thanks, Gentlemen... I'll bump it up a tad... still keeping the 1/2"

Eurocodes have two parts dedicated to cranes.
One to quantify the loads, one for the design of the crane beams.
EN 1991-3
EN 1993-6
Have also a look at ISO/DIS 11660-6

From the top of my head, crane girders are limited to L/600 and 25 mm vertical deflection.
Lateral also L/600.

Thanks... got it fixed.

It's floating on the web somewhere if you need.

^^^ I wouldn't know, but I'd start my search on zlibrary (z-lib.org => books) ... Has many other interesting documents as well (don't type "structural" in the search box or you're gone for hours...)
