Does anyone have a reference or derivation for basic allowable crane rail loadings?
Whiting Crane Handbook (p. 66,67)provides:
P = (A) X D X W
A = Varies between 1600, 1400, 1200 manufacturers also list this value as a function of the Brinell Hardness.
D = Diameter of the wheel
W = effective rail head width
I am basically looking for the derivation of A?
