  • 43 Crane Runway Girders -- Limit States Design

    8. Deflection Limits

    Limits are imposed in AS 1418.18 on vertical and lateral deflections ofthe runways for the purpose of obtaining satisfactory serviceperformance of the crane. The following deflection limits for runwaysand monorails under serviceability loads, using dynamic factors of 1.0:

    Vertical deflection due to the maximum wheel loads and level supports:

    z = L500 but not more than 60 mm (L/300 for cantilevers)Vertical settlement plus axial shortening of a support column:

    z = L1000 but not more than 10 mmLateral deflection of the top flange of a top running crane, measuredfrom the chord:

    ty = L600 but not more than 20 mmLateral deflection of the bottom flange of a monorail beam (authorsadditional recommendation):

    by = L500 but 20 mmDifferential lateral deflection between two neighbouring frames (authorsrecommendation) *:

    fy = L600* this is necessary to prevent damage to crane from raking.
