Is it possible to design a crane runway girder without stiffeners on supports in CRANEWAY?
Answer
a) A stiffener is arranged for the start and end support.
b) In Window 1.4, buffers are arranged that ensure the minimum distance of the crane wheel from the support.

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)

In addition to the National Annexes (NA) listed above, you can also define a specific NA, applying user-defined limit values and parameters.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is it possible to design intermittent welds in the CRANEWAY add-on module?
- Is it necessary to enter the loads of a crane for each axle or wheel in the table of crane loads in Window 1.4?
- How can I obtain internal forces, calculated in CRANEWAY, for a special x-location?
- Where can I enter distances of crane axes?
- How do I change the preset partial factors in CRANEWAY?
- What do the abbreviations for the crane loads in the CRANEWAY Add-on Module mean?
- When doing a calculation, I activated the 'Detailed Calculation' option. Have the support loads already been specified with the reduced dynamic coefficient for dimensioning the substructure?
- I have defined springs on the upper flange of my crane girder laterally. Now, the allowable deformation is calculated acc. to the distance of the springs, how can I change it?
- Can I use the resulting support forces directly for further calculations?
- How can I create a drilled beam in RFEM?
