Title: Design of Gantry Girder

Speaker: Mr. Vishal A. Nalwar, Neilsoft India Ltd., Pune

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Basic Design Data:- Given Data

1. Crane Capacity = 200 kN (EOT)
2. Weight of crab/trolley = 30 kN
3. Span of gantry `L’ = 8.0 m
4. Self weight of crane girder = 150 kN
5. Span of crane girder = 20.0 m Assumed
6. Minimum hook approach = 1.0m
7. Yield stress of steel ‘fy’ = 250 N/mm²
8. Wheel spacing `a’ = 3.5 m

Self weight of gantry section along with rails = 2 kN/m

……………………

Solution:

The gantry girder is subjected to

a. Vertical load with impact causing bending moment about the major axis Z-
Z.
b. Longitudinal load along its span causing bending moment about the major
axis Z-Z and inducing axial load in the gantry.
c. Horizontal surge load transverse to its span causing bending moment about
the minor axis Y-Y.

Since the section is subjected to bi-axial moment and surge load transverse to
its span, the section is strengthened by providing a channel section at top of the
rolled section as below so that the moment of inertia about the Y-Y axis
increases. The gantry girder shall be designed as laterally unsupported beam.

Clauses concerning loads and load combinations can be referred from IS-875-
Part2. The various loads acting on the gantry girder are calculated as below.

Step 1:- Load Calculation

A. Vertical Load Calculation :-

i) Maximum load transferred to the gantry girder is obtained when the

crab on the crane girder approaches the gantry girder as shown in fig.1
below-

Max load on gantry girder = + = 293.50 kN

293.50
This load is shared by 2 wheels. Hence load per wheel = = 146.75 kN

 Max. static load per wheel = 146.75 kN
Add 25% impact load for EOT ………………………………………………..
Max. load per wheel including impact = 1.25 x 146.75 kN = 183.44 kN

Factored design load =  f x 183.44

 f = 1.5 …………………………………………………………………..
Factored vertical wheel load = 275.16 kN

Factored B.M. due to above load-

For worst loading, as per theory of moving loads, the loads shall be placed such
that one of the wheels & the resultant shall be equidistant from the centre of the
girder as shown below in fig.2-

Self weight is assumed as 2KN/m. The max B.M. due to self weight is at centre
of girder. This moment is conservatively added to the max. Moment due to
wheel load.

From theory of statics, max. B.M. is given by

where, a = wheel spacing

B. Horizontal Load Calculation:-

i) Drag load :
ii) This is the longitudinal load acting along the span of the gantry girder due to
sudden braking of the crab/trolley. This load acts at the top of rails supporting
trolley wheels.

Assume height of rails = 75mm & depth of gantry girder section as 650mm IS:875-Part 2

 Total factored vertical B.M. = M1 + M2 = 695.78 + 11 = 706.78 kN-m

Say 707 kN-m

Department of Civil Engineering, SCOE, Pune-41. Page 3
ii) Surge load
Surge load acts transverse to gantry girder due to sudden braking of crab along
crane girder. This value is equal to 10% of crab weight & lifting weight.

Surge load Fs = 10% of (30+200) = 23 kN ………………………………….

This load is shared equally by 4 wheels.

 Load per wheel = = 5.75 kN

Factored surge load per wheel = 1.5x5.75 = 8.625 kN

The B.M. due to surge load is maximum for load position as determined
previously for vertical B.M.

(Crabbing load is to be considered as well as per BS: 5950- Part 1-1990
Note:- Crabbing load is ignored in IS: 800)

C. Axial load on gantry girder

As mentioned earlier the drag force induces axial force as well in the gantry
girder.
Axial load = Drag force
Factored axial load = 13.76 x 2 = 27.52 kN

D. Shear force
For maximum shear force, one of the wheels is placed on the support as below-

Load summary

Load Design value

1a. Bending moment @ major axis Mz-z due 695.78 kN-m
to vertical loads
1b. Bending moment @ major axis Mz-z due 11 kN-m
to drag load
2. Bending moment @ minor axis My-y due 21.06 kN-m
to surge load
3. Axial load Pu due to drag load 27.52 kN
4. Shear force 444 kN

For capacity check, following combinations shall be used as per IS-875-Part2

Load 1a. & Load 2 i.e. Mzz & Myy due to vertical load & surge load
Load 1a., Load 1b. & Load 3 i.e. Mzz & Pu due to vertical load & drag load

The above load combinations are based on the IS-875 Part2 recommendation as
per cl. No. 6.3 on page 16. This clause mention that –
Gantry girders and their vertical supports shall be designed on the assumption
that either of the horizontal forces ( Surge load & Drag load) may act at the
same time as the vertical load.

However the code also mentions a note under cl.6.4 on the same page no.16 as-

NOTE - Lateral surge force and longitudinal tractive force acting across and
along the crane rail respectively, shall not be assumed to act simultaneously.
However, if there is only one crane in the bay, the lateral and longitudinal
forces may act together simultaneously with vertical loads.

Hence in the present problem, check has been considered for following
combination also-
Load 1a., Load 1b., Load 2 & Load 3 i.e. Mzz & Pu due to vertical load & drag
load and Myy due to surge load.

Section is Plastic.

Step 4:-
Moment Capacity Check:-

Here the local capacity check is taken to ensure that the section is adequate. If it
is unsafe then the section can be revised in this step itself before checking its
torsional buckling resistance. Deflection check may be taken at this stage itself.

Before checking for moment capacity, check if shear force is less than or
greater than 0.6Vd

Step 5 :- Buckling Resistance :-

Since the girder is laterally unsupported, it is susceptible to buckling failure

before reaching yield. Hence it is necessary to check its buckling resistance.
