Combinations of Crane Loads: EN 1990 + EN 1991-3; Cranes
The automatic creation of combinations in RFEM and RSTAB with the "EN 1990 + EN 1991‑3; Cranes" option allows you to design crane runway beams as well as support loads on the rest of the structure.

- Craneway and weld stress analysis
- Craneways and weld fatigue design
- Deformation analysis
- Plate buckling analysis for wheel load introduction
- Stability analysis for lateral torsional buckling according to the second-order analysis of torsional buckling (1D FEA element)
For the design according to Eurocode 3, the following National Annexes are available:
-
DIN EN 1993-6/NA:2010-12 (Germany)
NBN EN 1993-6/ANB:2011-03 (Belgium)
-
SFS EN 1993-6/NA:2010-03 (Finland)
NF EN 1993-6/NA:2011-12 (France)
UNI EN 1993-6/NA:2011-02 (Italy)
LST EN 1993-6/NA:2010-12 (Lithuania)
NEN EN 1993-6/NB:2012-05 (The Netherlands)
NS EN 1993-6/NA:2010-01 (Norway)
SS EN 1993-6/NA:2011-04 (Sweden)
CSN EN 1993-6/NA:2010-03 (Czech Republic)
BS EN 1993-6/NA:2009-11 (United Kingdom)
CYS EN 1993-6/NA:2009-03 (Cyprus)
In addition to the National Annexes (NA) listed above, you can also define a specific NA, applying user-defined limit values and parameters.
- Where is the fatigue design activated in the CRANEWAY program?
- In CRANEWAY, there is a crane library with templates. Why is it grayed out?
- How can I optimize the calculation time in CRANEWAY?
- Where can I find the determined support forces for the crane runway girder? At the bottom flange of the crane runway girder or in the shear center of the cross-section?
- Is it possible to manually adjust detail categories or a stress cycle of the detail categories?
- How can I obtain internal forces, calculated in CRANEWAY, for a special x-location?
- How can I consider a sway bracing in CRANEWAY?
- I am trying to manually check the deformations from the CRANEWAY add-on module. However, I obtain major deviations. How are the differences explained?
- How can I model and design a crane runway girder with Dlubal Software?
- How can I create a drilled beam in RFEM?
