Design Basis & Assumption Code Reference

1. The crane runway beam is designed as simple span beam. AISC Design Guide 7

2. The W section top flange and cap channel resist the hor.
load and the combined section resists the ver.
load. This assumption eliminates the need for an analysis of
torsional effects on the combined section Section 18.1 on Page 56
and simplifies the analysis.

3. If A36 channel cap is used on A992 W section then lateral

torsional buckling and weak axis flexure
Section 18.1.4 on Page 57
strength must be calculated based on A36 yield stress.

4. For bending moment about the X axis, the moment caused

by runway beam and rail self weight is
calculated at beam midspan as maximum and added to the maximum
moment caused by crane

moving load. Even though the maximum moment caused by crane moving
load may not be at the
beam midspan, this conservative approach rarely makes a significant
change in the final combined
Mx value used in the runway beam design.
