Crane runway girders KB 5.2 - according to DIN EN 1993-6

The crane runway girder software KB 5.2 calculates crane runway girders (traveled on the top flange) as well as trolley girders (traveled on the bottom flange). The static system can be freely defined. Single or multi-span beams, optionally also with cantilever arms, can be entered.

Up to three cranes operating at the same time can be arranged on the crane runway. In addition to the warping torsion, the calculation method used also considers the geometrically non-linear behavior of the beam (bending torsion according to second order theory).

Advantages

Transparent and easy-to-use input parameters related to the system, the cross section and loads
Taking into account various load cases (mass forces of crane and trolley travel, skew, test load, trolley buffer impact and trolley tilting)
Free assignment of different cross sections over the entire length of the beam
Ability to transfer cross sections and cranes to other projects

Results

Proofs at the ultimate limit state (stress, internal force, buckling and resistance of the bottom flange)
Proofs at the serviceability limit state (deformations, verification of reversible behavior, limitation of web breathing, vibration of the bottom flange)
Proof at fatigue strength limit state
If necessary, internal forces and bearing forces are also provided as an output

Crane runway girders KB 4.7a - according to DIN 18800 and DIN 4132

The crane runway girder software KB 4.7a calculates crane runway girders (traveled on the top flange) as well as trolley girders (traveled on the bottom flange). The static system can be freely defined. Single or multi-span beams, optionally also with cantilever arms, can be entered.

Up to three cranes operating at the same time can be arranged on the crane runway. In addition to the warping torsion, the calculation method used also considers the geometrically non-linear behavior of the beam (bending torsion according to second order theory).

Advantages

Transparent and easy-to-use input parameters related to the system, the cross section and loads
Taking into account various load cases (mass forces of crane travel, skew and tilting of the trolley)
Free assignment of different cross sections over the entire length of the beam
Automated optimization of the crane runway girder profile

Results

Proof of static strength
Proof of fatigue strength
Proof of buckling strength
Proof of deformation and vibration behavior
