Determination of Crane Loads As Per ASCE7-16, MBMA2018, and AISE13

In Determination of Crane Loads As Per ASCE7-16, MBMA2018, and AISE13, you'll learn ...

• The primary crane loads for single cranes, including vertical, impact, side thrust, braking, tractive, skewing, test, and torsional loads
• How to apply loads to runway beams, portal frames, and braced frames
• How to study multiple cranes in different cases, such as single crane aisles with multiple cranes, multiple crane aisles with single cranes, and multiple crane aisles with multiple cranes
• The application of other loads to crane supporting structures, such as wind, ice, and snow loads

Structural design is a set of processes that assures that the building is capable of resisting applied loads, fulfilling its functions, sustaining its stability. The processes of structural design can be summarized in the following steps:

• Determination of applied loads
• Selecting an economic and proper structural system
• Structural analysis of the structural system to get internal actions
• Design of structural members to resist internal actions

Cranes are essential elements in many industrial buildings, as they are used to lift and handle heavy equipment, tools, and materials within the coverage area. This course involves a deep study on the crane loads on structural elements of industrial buildings according to the latest US standards ASCE7-16, Design Guide No.7 (Industrial Building Design-Third Edition), CMMA-Technical Report.No.74, 2015, and IBC2018. All course equations are presented using ASD and LRFD methods.

In this course, we will discuss the primary crane loads for single cranes, such as vertical, impact, side thrust, braking, tractive, skewing, test, and torsional loads. We will demonstrate how to apply those loads to runway beams, portal frames, and braced frames and cover how to study multiple cranes in different cases, such as single crane aisles with multiple cranes, multiple crane aisles with single cranes, and multiple crane aisles with multiple cranes. Additionally, we will address the application of other loads to crane supporting structures, such as wind, ice, and snow loads.
