Design of Crane Runway Girders Without Stiffeners at Supports in CRANEWAY

Is it possible to design a crane runway girder without stiffeners on supports in CRANEWAY?


Answer:

The resistance of the web to shear loads is verified during the design. If no stiffeners are arranged in the area of the supports, a minimum wheel distance must be maintained for the start and end supports according to EN 1993‑1‑5, Section 5.3(2)(a). The program provides two solution approaches.

a) A stiffener is arranged for the start and end supports.
b) In Window 1.4, buffers are arranged that ensure the minimum distance of the crane wheel from the support.
