118 Loads
characteristic load and an alternative concentrated charac-teristic load as given in Table 11. For the parking of heaviervehicles and for repair workshops, greater loading and themost adverse arrangement of actual wheel loads must betaken into account.
9.2.6 Overhead travelling cranes
To allow for vibration, acceleration and deceleration, slipp-ing of slings, and impact of wheels, maximum static wheelloads (see Table 12 for typical loads) of simple electricoverhead travelling cranes should be increased by 25%.Braking or travelling under power produces in the rail-beama horizontal thrust which is transferred to the supports. Thetraversing of the crane and load produces a horizontal thrusttransversely to the rail-beam. Therefore the additional forcesacting on the supporting structure when the crane is movingare (a) a horizontal force acting transversely to the rail andequal to 10% of the weight of the crab and the load lifted, itbeing assumed that the force is equally divided between thetwo rails; (b) a horizontal force acting along each rail andequal to 5% of the greatest static wheel load that can act onthe rail. The forces (a) and (b) are not considered to actsimultaneously, but the effect of each must be combined withthat of the increased maximum vertical wheel loads.
For a crane operated by hand, the vertical wheel loadsneed be increased by only 10%; for force (a) the proportion ofthe weight of crab and load can be 5%. Force (b) is the samefor hand as for electrically operated cranes.
The foregoing requirements are in accordance withBS6399: Part 1. Gantry cranes other than simple typesshould be considered individually.
9.2.7 Structures supporting lifts
The effect of acceleration must be considered in addition tothe static loads when calculating the load due to lifts andsimilar machinery. If a net static load of Fd is subject to anacceleration of a metres per second per second (mis2) theload on the supporting structure is approximately Fm = Fa X
(1 + 0.098a). If a is in ft/s2, Fm = Fd(l + 0.03a) approximately.The average acceleration of a passenger lift may be about0.6m/s2 or 2ft/s2, but the maximum acceleration will beconsiderably greater. An equivalent load of 2Fd should betaken as the minimum to allow for dynamic effects. The loadfor which the supports of a lift and similar structures aredesigned should be related to the total load on the ropes. Ifthe latter is Fm and the ropes have an overall factor of safetyof 10, the service load on the supports should be not less than2.SFm to ensure that a structure, if designed for a nominaloverall factor of safety of 4, is as strong as the ropes.
The requirements of BS2655 (see Table 12) are that thesupporting structure should be designed for twice the totalload suspended from the beams when the lift is at rest.Reinforced concrete beams should be designed for this loadwith an overall factor of safety of 7, and the deflection underthis load should not exceed 1/1500 of the span.
9.2.8 Industrial plant
Typical static weights of screening plant, conveyors and
conveyor gantries are given in Table 12 (in SI and imperialunits). The supports for such machines and for all industrialmachinery should be designed for the static weight plus anallowance for dynamic effects; i.e. vibration, impact etc.
9.2.9 Pit-head frames
A pit-head frame of the type that is common at coal minesand similar may be subjected to the following loads. (Thesenotes do not apply to the direct vertical winding type of pit-head tower.)
Dead loads. The dead loads include the weights of (1) theframe and any stairs, housings, lifting beams etc. attached toit; (2) winding pulleys, pulley-bearings, pedestals etc.;(3) guide and rubbing ropes plus 50% for vibration.
Imposed loads. The imposed loads are the resultants of thetensions in the ropes passing over the pulleys and (unlessdescribed otherwise) are transmitted to the frame throughthe pulley bearings and may be due to the followingconditions. (a) Retarding of descending cage when near thebottom of the shaft; this force is the sum of the net weight ofthe cage, load and rope, and should be doubled to allow fordeceleration, shock and vibration. (b) Force due tooverwinding the cage which is then dropped on to theoverwind platform; this force acts only on the platform (andnot at the pulley bearings) and is the sum of the net weights ofthe cage and attachments and the load in the cage, which sumshould be doubled to allow for impact. (c) Force causingrope to break due to cage sticking in shaft or other causes; theforce in the rope just before breaking is the tensile strength ofthe rope. (d) Tension in rope when winding up a loaded cage.
Combined loads. For a frame carrying one pulley, theconditions to be designed for are the total dead loadcombined with either imposed load (a), (b), (c) or (d).Generally condition (c) gives the most adverse effects, but it ispermissible in this case to design using service stresses of say,double the ordinary permissible service stresses because ofthe short duration of the maximum force. The procedurewould be to design the frame for service dead load plus half offorce (c) and adopt the ordinary service stresses. If the framecarries two pulleys, the conditions to be investigated are:dead load plus (a) on one rope and (d) on the other (this is theordinary working condition); dead load plus (a) on one ropeand overwind (b) on the other; and dead load plus (a) on onerope and breaking force (c) on the other rope (this isgenerally the worst case: force (c) can be halved as explainedfor a single-pulley frame).
The weights of the ropes, cages etc. and the strength of theropes would be obtained for any particular pit-head framefrom the mining authorities, and they vary too greatly fortypical values to be of any use.
9.2.10 Railway bridges
As stated in section 2.4.6, standard railway loading through-out Europe (including the UK) consists of two types, RU andRL. The former, which is illustrated in Table 9, covers allcombinations of main-line locomotives and rolling stock. RL

122 Loads
loading is less severe and is only applicable for rapid-transitpassenger systems where main-line equipment cannot ope-rate: brief details of this loading are given in section 2.4.6.
In addition to the primary loads considered above,secondary live loading due to dynamic effects (such as impactand oscillation), nosing, lurching, centrifugal force, acceler-ation and braking must be taken into account. For detailsreference should be made to clause 8 of BS5400: Part 2.
9.2.11 Aircraft runways
The design of a pavement for an aircraft runway or aprondepends on the amount, frequency and distribution ofloading from the aircraft, the flexural strength of the slab, thesupport provided by the subgrade and the particular type offacility (e.g. runway, apron etc.) being designed. In currentdesign practice, the loading data produced by the aircraftmanufacturers are used to prepare design charts giving theresulting flexural stresses in slabs of various thicknesses bymeans of computer programs or influence charts: for furtherdetails see ref. 132.
Designers of such pavements must anticipate future as wellas present loading requirements.
Experience obtained from designing runways for heavyUS military aircraft which are supported on isolated groupsof up to four wheels (the gross tyre weight of a B52 bomberexceeds 22680kg) has confirmed the validity of current
design methods. However, it seems possible that futureheavier aircraft may utilize undercarriage arrangements inwhich larger numbers of wheels act together, with additionalincreases in the tyre contact area. The deflection of, andsupport provided beneath, slabs carrying such large loadedareas then become increasingly important and may requiregreater consideration in future.
For information, some details regarding the Boeing 747,the largest commercial aircraft currently operating, are asfollows: overall width 59.64m; length 70.51 m; height 19.33 m;gross weight at take-off 371945kg; capacity up to 550passengers; undercarriage consists of sixteen wheels arran-ged as four 4-wheel bogies; maximum weight per tyre20 640 kg.
9.2.12 Dispersion of wheel loads
Rules for the dispersion of road and rail wheel loads onconcrete slabs are shown on Tables 10 and 11. Note that therequirements of BS5400 (Table 10) differ from those thathave been generally adopted in the past (Table 11).
9.2.13 Effects of wind
The data in Tables 13 to 15 are based on BS3: Chapter V:Part 2: 1972, and a description of the use of these tables isgiven in section 2.7,
