Crane/suspended-crane load
TCVN 2737:2023Crane/suspended-crane actions and simply-supported runway-beam envelope.
About the crane/suspended-crane load tool
Calculates crane wheel loads per TCVN 2737:2023 §9.2 and the envelope of internal forces for a simply supported crane runway beam, including braking loads, fatigue loads and end-stop buffer impact.
What you enter
Maximum/minimum wheel loads from the manufacturer's equipment documentation, the runway beam span, the number of cranes acting simultaneously, and the dynamic and load factors per TCVN 2737:2023 §9.2.
What the results mean
Vertical loads and horizontal braking loads applied to the runway beam, the envelope of maximum bending moment and shear from the governing wheel positions, plus a preliminary check of the I/H steel or RC section.
When to use this tool
Designing the crane runway beam for an industrial building with an overhead or suspended crane; quickly combining vertical, braking and impact actions before a detailed section check.
Method
Enter manufacturer wheel loads as required by TCVN 2737:2023 §9.2. The tool calculates actions and simply-supported runway-beam envelopes.
