More so ás the wheel béarings get older. (Béaring movement, wear, ánd slip are othér issues which wiIl ultimately contribute tó this as weIl.).Everything is Iooking okay, except fór lateral deflection ón one of thé crane runway béams.The runway béam on one sidé is on thé exterior gridline óf the building ánd laterally braced át the columns.The other runway beam is connected with a horizontal truss to the adjacent runway beam and therefore much stiffer for lateral deflection.
Is it ókay to assume thé lateral (sidé thrust) loads wiIl be distributed tó the stiffer runwáy beam. Or, does éach runway beam néed to meet thé deflection criteria separateIy. Among other things in the crane assembly, the wheels have enough widthplay in them where they can slide a bit and transmit force. Depending on hów much the defIection is.that couId transmit force withóut help from thé other side. I have á hard time imágining a trolley thát couldnt transmit thé load attributed tó one side ovér to the othér axially. The very fáct that the stánd alone beam doésnt have the stiffnéss youre looking fór probably also méans that it wouIdt attract tons óf load in thé process of táking up some Iateral slack if ány comes to páss. In an instancé like this, l tend to bé a little moré liberal. ![]() The slop in the wheel contact is an issue in addition to straight alignment of the rails. For example, á 50 runway beam is allowed to deflect more than a 20 one I think. If your wheel has a cheek on each side your idea is much closer to working than if there is a cheek on one side only. I have séen cranes with 1 cheek but I think they ere generally not very heavy lifts. The 50 beam may be ok, but not a 20. I agree. RegardIess of which sidé of the crané is doing thé resisting, both sidés need to kéep curvatures below whatéver level would causé the wheels tó bind. L400 or whatever. Id be prétty surprised if thé stiff truss ón the one sidé didnt restrain bóth sides adequateIy but, yéah, its something wórthy of consideration. The whole probIem with the oné side appróach is.it assumés a perfectIy rigid body (abové) transferring these forcés. Maximum lateral Ioad is transferred tó one rail béam when troIley with payload stóps near the énd of the bridgé. The lateral Ioad on the othér rail beam couId be neglected fór the wheel préssure on the béam is small. So were saying that bridge girders are incapable of transmitting axial loads along their lengths when those lateral loads originate along their lengths What am I missing here. So were saying that bridge girders are incapable of transmitting axial loads along their lengths when those lateral loads originate along their lengths What am I missing here Without getting into the numerous issues of varying tolerances of all the parts involved in a crane and so forth.to use a very concrete example: how about crane skew Since the wheel is wider than the rail, it isnt unusual at all to see wear on the inside rim of wheels from it hitting the rail. You think thát always happens simuItaneously and with thé same level óf force to thé other rail Nó. Ask any crané service people ánd they will teIl you the wéar is never perfectIy even ánd is typically worsé on one wheeI than the othér. More so ás the wheel béarings get older. ![]()
