Pau. Jere Structural Beam Design Guide and Selection Chart for Overhead Crane Runway System WRIGHT Overhead Cranes INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS 2ND EDITION IS BASED ON NEW, REVISED W SHAPE, $20 ‘SHAPE, AND S24 SHAPE PROFILES, HAVING AN EFFECTIVE ROLLING OR AVAILABILITY DATE OF 1 SEPTEMBER 1978. THEREFORE. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT APPLICABLE FOR STRUCTURAL ‘SHAPES ROLLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH PREVIOUS OBSOLETE PROFILE STANDARDS, FOR IN- FORMATION ON OBSOLETE STRUCTURAL SHAPES, REFER TO THE 1ST EDITION OF THIS GUIDE, REFER TO THE REFERENCES LISTED THROUGHOUT THIS PUBLICATION, OR CONTACT OUR YORK OFFICE, The following are the single plane loading stress and deflection limits upon which the loadings are based. Maximum Stress (Tension) —_: 17,600 psi Maximum Stress (Compression): " Maximum Stress (Shear) 19,200 psi \Vertical and lateral deflection limited to 1/800 of the span. For computing lateral deflection a lateral load ‘equal to 5% of the vertical load was used. Vertical stress and deflection loading limits include the effect of the weight of the beam. Lateral stress and, deflection loading limits do not include the effect of the weight of the beam. Therefore, the loadings shown inthe charts should be used to assist in the selection of runway beams only and should not be used to as- sist in the selection of bridge beams. Loadings shown in the charts are based ONLY upon SINGLE PLANE LOADING. Combined loads ARE NOT included. Consideration of combined loading or twisting of the beam about itself because of large lateral loads should be analyzed by structural/mechanical engineers or any similarly qualified personnel Lower flange loadings based on a maximum flange stress (tension) of 16,000 psi 12,000,000 * Compression: eer with maximum of 17.600 psi e Id/Ar fy Span in inches d = Depth of beam in inches Ar= Area of compression flange in square inches Where = WARNING: ‘The msl coins in ti bok is htended for use nt by susturamachancs engineers or nysintrlyqunisepesanal we guetta vr tougn anyanate sequence stampeconpcieons (Seen determing laa 8 bulsoon of beam a wupran halen Ven proves For anu ating condine rat covered nae po, canac ou York tee Wie every precaution was than to neue tat al dla an inormaton conned her accu ‘eco canna stsme respons fr oro ovesghs ts use,RUNWAY BEAM SIZE SELECTION FOR FOUR WHEEL TOP RUNNING CRANE (TWO WHEELS PER END TRUCK) ‘The purpose ofthis procedure isto ulline the stops and calevlations Inveled in salecting 2 runway beam for @ 4-wheel top running crane having 2 wheels per end truck ‘Top running erenes operate on ras attached tothe runway beams on Ine center ofthe top lange cvectly above the beam web.
