Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 6: Crane supporting structures
Also Known As:
Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures - Part 6, titled "Crane supporting structures," is a standard that complements Part 1. It provides a comprehensive set of guidelines for the structural design of steel supporting structures used in crane systems. This includes the design of runway beams for both overhead travelling cranes and underslung cranes, as well as monorail runway beams for hoist blocks.
The standard encompasses a range of topics necessary for the design of crane supporting structures. It includes general rules applicable to all types of crane supporting structures, as well as additional detailed rules specific to each type of structure. These rules ensure that the design follows best practices to guarantee the structural integrity and stability of supporting structures.
Furthermore, the standard considers the specific requirements for both indoor and outdoor crane supporting structures. The design principles outlined in this standard aim to ensure the safe and efficient operation of cranes, while considering factors such as loads, stresses, deflections, and other relevant parameters.
