Rail eccentricity

[Prestes]

How can I to evaluate the effects of rail eccentricity in a crane girder? I need informations about a method of Australian Standard A5 1418.18 to evaluate torsional resistance of the rail and crane girder flange.

Look into crane design manual to find tollerance on rail mislignment and double it.

By AS1418.18 appendix C the torsion can be replaced by 'pairs of lateral forces acting at the top & bot. flanges'.
