2. Design a simply supported gantry girder to carry electric overhead travelling crane

Given:

Span of gantry girder = 7 m

Span of crane girder = 9 m

Crane capacity = 250 kN

Self-weight of trolley, hook, electric motor etc. = 40 kN

Self-weight of crane girder excluding trolley = 100 kN

Minimum hook approach = 1.0 m

Distance between wheels = 3 m

Self-weight of rails = 0.2 kN/m

Maximum moment due to vertical load = weight of trolley+Crane capacity = 40+250 =290KN

Self-weight of crane girder excluding trolley = 100KN

For maximum reaction on gantry girder, the moving load should be as close the gantry girder as possible

Ra = 9290X8/9) + (100/2)

= 307.77KN

This load is transferred to gantry girder, through two wheel, the wheel base being 3m.

So load on gantry girder from each wheel = 307.77/2 = 158.88KN

Maximum moments due to moving loads occur under a wheel when the c.g of wheel loadand the wheel are eqidistant from the centre of girder

Rd =(230.83X(3-1.5-0.75)+(230.83 X (3+0.75)))/7 =148.4KN

Max moment, Me =148.4X2.25 = 333.90KN-m

Moment due to impact = 0.25X333.9= 83.47KN-m

Assume self weight of girder = 2KN-m

Dead load due to self weight + rails = 2+0.2=2.2KN-m

Factored DL = 2.2X1.5 = 3.3KN-m

Moment due to DL = 20.21KN-m

factored moment due to all vertical loads, Mz = 333.9 + 83.47 + 20.21 = 437.58KN-m

Maximum moment due to lateral force:

Horizontal force transferred to rails = 10% of weight of trolley plus load lifted =(10/100)X(250+40) = 29KN

This is distributed to 4 wheels

so, horizontal force on each wheel = 29/4 =7.25KN

Factored horizontal force on each wheel = 1.5X7.25 = 10.875KN

For maximum moment in gantry girder the position of loads is same earlier except that is horizontal, hence by proportioning we get,

My =(10.875/230.83)X333.90 = 15.73KNm

Shear force:

for maximum shear force on the girder, the trailing wheel should just be on girder.

Vertical shear due to wheel loads = 230.83+(230.86X3)/7 = 329.75KN

Priliminary section :

maximum economic depth, L/12 = 7000/12 = 583.33mm

width of compression flange may be taken as 1/40 or 1/30 of span

so, flange width can be taken, L/40 = 7000/40 = 175mm to L/30 =7000/30 = 233.33mm

Required Zp = 1.4X(M/fy) = 2450X10^3mm^3

Let us try a ISMB 550 with ISMC 250 0n compression flange
