Conservatively we can simplify the calculation , a factor of 1.3 can be applied simultaneously to both the lifted load and to the self-weight of the crane.

So the maximum unfactored static point load per wheel, assuming there are two wheels on each side, is: Rw=1.3*0.5*(Rs/2+Rh*(Lc-ah)/Lc)

Crabbing forces are obtained from clause 4.11.2 (BS 5950-1:2000). If the crane is class Q1 or Q2, then the crabbing forces would not need to be considered.
Note : Horizontal loads need not to be combined together.

Load combination according to BS 5950-1:2000 (Table 2) are: LC1 =1.4 DL + 1.6 Wv LC2 =1.4 DL + 1.6 (Wh1 or Wh2 or FR) LC3 =1.4 DL + 1.4 Wv + 1.4 (Wh1 or Wh2 or FR)

BS 5950-1-2000 4.2.5
Note: for section classification of compound I- or H-sections, see BS 5950-1-2000 : 3.5.3 & Table 11. Note: Moment capacity should be reduced in case of high shear according to BS 5950-1-2000 : 4.2.5.3

Lateral-Torsional Buckling
Check gantry girder as an unrestrained member for vertical loads. Due to interaction between crane wheels and crane rails, crane loads need not be treated as destabilizing, assuming that the rails are not mounted on resilient pads. No account should be taken of the effect of moment gradient i.e. mLT (lateral-torsional buckling factor) should be taken as 1.0.
BS 5950-2000 4.11.3
Pb is the bending strength and is dependent on the design strength py and the equivalent slenderness LT.
BS 5950-2000 4.3.6.7(a)
For compound section (Rolled section + plate ), use I and H with unequal flanges to calculate LT.
2011-2012
Moment capacity of the top flange plate, Mc,plate is equal to the lesser of 1.2py Zplate and py*Splate.
BS 5950-1-2000 4.2.5
2011-2012
For simplicity take maximum M x and M y (rather than coexistent M x and M y) and assume that the minor axis loads are carried by the plate only. M LT is the maximum major axis moment in the segment. Note : mx, my factors can be taken as 1.0 for simplicity.
2011-2012
Note: It is ok to assume that the sear is resisted by the UB section => Av = tD (for rolled I-sections, load parallel to web)

HR Tplate Tflange
2(HR+T) The stress (fw) obtained by dispersing the wheel load over the length xR should not be greater than py for the web.

Deflections
Vertical deflection due to static vertical wheel loads from overhead travelling cranes
BS 5950-1-2000 2.5.2 Table 8(c)
Horizontal deflection (calculated on the top flange properties alone) due to horizontal crane loads
Note : The deflection of crane beams can be important and the exact calculations can be complex with a system of rolling loads. However, For two equal loads, a useful assumption is that the maximum deflection occurs at the centre of the span when the loads are positioned equidistant about the centre.
