Crane Load Analysis

The software can model and analyse the various loads imposed by overhead cranes, including vertical loads, horizontal forces, and dynamic effects. It considers factors such as crane movement, load lifting, and lateral forces.

Optimisation for Performance

With the ability to calculate force envelopes and consider dynamic loading from cranes, the software ensures optimal performance of crane gantry girder designs. Engineers can confidently design beams that withstand operational stresses and minimise deflections.

CRANE BEAM USE CASE

Challenge

A construction company is tasked with designing a crane runway system for a new manufacturing facility. The project requires the design of multi-span crane gantry girders capable of supporting heavy loads and accommodating the movement of multiple cranes.

Solution

Using Prokon Crane Beam software, the engineers input the project specifications, and operational requirements. They utilise the software’s capabilities to swiftly design and optimise the crane runway beams, considering factors such as span lengths, support types, and dynamic loading from the cranes.

Results

The engineers explore various beam configurations supported by the software, including standard I-sections, plate girders, and box girders, to determine the most suitable design for the project requirements. They leverage the software’s ability to calculate force envelopes and analyse the horizontal effects of moving cranes to ensure the structural integrity and performance of the gantry girder system.
