Design Basis & Assumption AISC Design Guide 7


1. The channel and W section top flange resist the hor. load and the combined section resists the 18.1 on page 56
ver. load. This assumption eliminates the need for an analysis of torsional effects on the combined
section and simplifies the analysis.
2. If A36 channel cap is used on A992 W section then lateral torsional buckling and weak axis 18.1.4 on page 57
flexure strength must be calculated based on A36 yield stress.

Side Thrust Load


Crane side thrust load calculated by = Option 1 CISC Crane Guide
Hs1 = 0.4 Lifted Load = 117.600 [kN] Table 2.1
Hs2 = 0.2 (Lifted Load+ Trolley/Hoist Wt) = 66.248 [kN]
Hs3 = 0.1 (Lifted Load+ Entire Crane Wt) = 37.044 [kN]
Hst = side thrust load calc using Option 1 = 16.562 [kN/per wheel]
Hst1=Hst3 = Hst (1 + (L-s) / L) = 26.499 [kN]
Hst2=Hst4 = Hst s / L = 10.600 [kN]

Tractive Load Table 2.1


Htr = 0.2 Max wheel load = 32.851 [kN/per wheel]
