Metal Building Systems Manual II. Crane Loads

2.6 Runway beams and suspension systems


The crane loading conditions given in Section 2.4.5 shall be applied as described in
Section 2.6. Runway beams, their connections, support brackets and suspension
systems for single and multiple cranes shall be designed in accordance with Section
2.6. See Table 2.6 for a summary of these requirements.

The crane or cranes shall be located longitudinally in the aisle in the positions that
produce the most unfavorable effect on the runway beam, runway beam connections,
support brackets and suspension system. Consideration shall be given to eccentric
loads induced by a single crane.

2.6.1 Single crane


Runway beams, their connections, support brackets, and suspension systems
shall be designed for the maximum wheel loads plus 100 percent of the
vertical impact acting simultaneously with 100 percent of the lateral force
acting horizontally in either direction.

2.6.2 Multiple cranes


Runway beams, their connections, support brackets, and suspension systems
shall be designed for the single crane producing the most unfavorable effect
using the provisions of Section 2.6.1 and for the crane loads of the two

2.8 Runway stops


The force produced by a crane striking a runway stop is dependent on the energy-
absorbing device used in the crane bumper. The device may be the hydraulic or
spring type. The bumper forces should be obtained from the crane manufacturer and
provided by the owner. In the absence of this data, AISE Technical Report No. 13
(Ref. B4.15) provides guidance on computing the bumper forces for the different
energy absorbing device types.

For crane aisles located outside enclosed buildings, consideration should be given to
the initial velocity and related bumper force that may be produced by the action of
specified wind loads on the crane.

2.9 Fatigue
The effect of fatigue shall be included in the design and detailing of crane runway
beams, their connections, support brackets, and suspension systems for cranes with
service classifications B through D as given in Section 2.9.1. Frames, support
columns, and longitudinal bracing need not be designed for fatigue conditions. The
allowable stresses for parts and connections subject to fatigue shall be calculated in
accordance with Appendix K4 of "Specification for the Design, Fabrication and
