Crane Runway Systems Design

[440MoPar]

Does anyone have the "Crane Runway Systems" thesis by John C. Rowswell (dated August 1987)?

I am interested in getting it (seen here:

http://www.rowswellengineers.com/crane.htm)

but there is no example text or sample pages to look at before I might order it. I would like to see an example of what is provided before I make the purchase.

If anyone has this, could you please tell me your thoughts on it and/or post a couple .pdf's of the document so that I might review it? Thanks. Any other info. that can be provided is greatly appreciated.

If you're interested only in this particular document, I can't help you... but I do have some other good design info on cranes, most in pdf format. The attached is just one example.

Also, if you go to ezdesign.org, they have a good crane beam design program. It can be used in demo mode up to 30 times, but you can't print or save. However, if you just need to do one, quick design like I did, there's always Alt-Prnt Scrn.

The Canadian CISC also have a very good publication on designing crane supporting structures. The document can be downloaded from their website.
