Design Basis & Assumption Code Reference

1. The crane runway beam is designed as simple span beam. AISC Design Guide 7

2. If A36 channel cap is used on A992 W section then lateral

torsional buckling and weak axis flexure
Section 18.1.4 on Page 57
strength must be calculated based on A36 yield stress.

3. For bending moment about the X axis, the moment caused

by runway beam and rail self weight is
calculated at beam midspan as maximum and added to the maximum
moment caused by crane

moving load. Even though the maximum moment caused by crane moving
load may not be at the
beam midspan, this conservative approach rarely makes a significant
change in the final combined

Mx value used in the runway beam design.

Check Web Sidesway Buckling AISC 360-10

There is no web sidesway buckling provision in CSA S16-14 code. AISC 360-10 section
J10.4 is

used to check the web sidesway buckling.

Web sidesway buckling check is necessary when the crane runway beam has long span
between

supporting columns and its bottom tension flange is not braced along the long span.
