In Design of Crane Supporting Structures, you'll learn ...
- Design requirements for crane supporting structures, according to the latest US standards
- Crane types, crane runway types, and different components of crane supporting structures
- Crane loads, including vertical loads, impact loads, lateral loads, and longitudinal loads, and how to apply them to crane supporting structures
- The selection and design of each component of crane supporting structures, such as bracketed columns, separate columns, stepped columns, and laced columns
Overview
To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 200 minutes has been met.

Many industrial buildings include interior or exterior cranes for handling materials or moving equipment for maintenance purposes. These cranes are supported on specific structures called “crane supporting structures,” which are designed to transfer different cranes loads to the ground.
This course involves a deep study on the design of crane supporting structures, according to the latest US standards: AISC Construction Manual 15th edition, AIST Technical Report No.13, Design Guide No.7 (Industrial Building Design-Third Edition), CMMA-Technical Report.No.74, 2015, ASCE7-16, and IBC2018. All course equations are presented using ASD and LRFD methods.
Firstly, the course gives a brief of crane types, crane runway types, and different components of crane supporting structures. Crane loads, including vertical loads, impact loads, lateral loads, and longitudinal loads, and how to apply them to crane supporting structures will be thoroughly examined. In addition, we will cover loads other than crane loads, such as wind loads, seismic loads, snow loads, ice loads, and test loads.
Finally, we will address the selection and design of each component of crane supporting structures, such as bracketed columns, separate columns, stepped columns, and laced columns.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Types of cranes and runways
- Components of crane supporting structures (portal frame, braced frame. eccentrically braced frames, roof bracing, etc.)
- Vertical systems of crane supporting structures (bracketed columns, stepped columns, separate columns, and crane towers)
- Horizontal systems of crane supporting structures (tie to the column, horizontal bracing, apron plates, etc.).
- Crane vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces
- Crane vertical, lateral, and longitudinal forces
- Other loads act on crane supporting elements, such as wind, seismic, ice, snow, and test loads
- Load combinations of cranes
- Application of crane loads to runway systems and supporting structures
- Multiple crane loading conditions
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
