Question:
In CRANEWAY, I would like to apply the forces that actually act simultaneously from the crane runway on both columns. Can I read them out somewhere?
Answer:
To get the result of the MAX/MIN support reactions with the associated values on different crane runway girders, the design of both girders in CRANEWAY is required. For this, select the option "Both girders (W-max and W-min)" in Window 1.4 Loading (see Image 01).
Then, select the Only max/min option in result window 2.3 Support Forces at Bottom Edge. The results are then displayed for both girders (girders with W-max and girders with W-min) sorted by the individual load components and the supports. There are two lines with results for each support and load component.
Image 02 shows the following values for Support 1:
max Pz = 84.66 kN (for the crane position LC 20 on the girder with W-max)
max Pz = 20.51 kN (for the crane position LC 100 on the girder with W-min) = belonging
