Load Calculation For Staad

This document provides a load calculation for a powerhouse girder. It calculates: 1) The total weight on the girder from various cranes and equipment is 54280 kg. 2) The maximum reaction force on each wheel is 133.1217 kN when the cranes are at full lifting capacity at the center of the girder. 3) Additional lateral and longitudinal loads are calculated, including side thrust of 26.92845 kN and longitudinal thrust of 13.46423 kN.
