Crane Girder Design to BS 5950-1: 2000

Features of CRANEgirder

CRANEgirder is an Excel Spreadsheet Template for the design of simply supported crane girders.
Its interactive features offer ease of use, fine design controls and time saving when sizing and improving details
of crane girders and their supporting structure.
In general, the procedure is based on the Steelwork Design Guide to BS 5950-1:2000, Volume 2, Worked
Examples, SCI Publication P326, The Steel Construction Institute, 2003
Features
Steel

Grades can be S275, S355 or S460.

Impact

factors can be 1.1, 1,25, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 or 2, depending upon the crane usage & specifications.

Crane

Class can be Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4. When the crane class is Q3 or Q4, the involved crabbing force is
included in the design calculations.

At

supports, the flange restraint ratios for position and direction can be 0.7, 0.85,1,1.2, 1.5 or 2.

The

compound crane girder section can be comprised of up to two parts. The bottom section is always a UB.
The top section can be a PFC, RSC, a rectangular plate or nothing.

Two

pull down menus offer selection of the bottom part from 72 UB sections and the top part from 52
PFC/RSC/Plate sections.

Yes/No option allows the user to include or exclude the UB top flange for resisting lateral loads and
displacements. This allows the user to adopt the SCI approach2 or follow a standard past practice5.

At

supports, the stiff-bearing-length and the beam-end to stiff-bearing-edge distance can be varied to optimise
support extents.

The

wheels in end carriages of the crane bridge can have one or two flanges to transmit lateral loads.

The

template includes diagrams showing dimensions and details required for the crane design.

To

design the support structure, reaction values are shown together with diagrams for their direction and
position.

Calculation

results are shown on the screen and included in the printed output. Users and checkers can verify
them by hand calculations.

On

the spot background information display via comments, when the mouse is moved over cell results.

Database

facility within the CRANEgirder file keeps information for up to 100 crane girders in a project via its
worksheet STORE. Using a reference number in the range 1001 to 1100, the data for each girder can be
retrieved, changed and re-saved later.

The

Database in worksheet STORE is visible to the user. Using spreadsheet features of Excel, new data can be
generated and the existing one examined and or modified.

The

template has virtually no user interface. The printed Output matches the Screen Display. Knowing Excel
use and the ability to verify results as a designer is sufficient for using CRANEgirder.

Shaded

cells in the spreadsheet signify User-Input and un-shaded cells the Results-output. This permits easy
checking by users and checkers alike.

At

all stages of use, cells at upper left of the screen display summary of 7 adequacy checks. This makes the
failing checks become obvious at a glance.

To

help select an economical girder section, 8 usage ratios based on actual to permitted values of deflection
and strength are calculated. The maximum value representing economy of structural use is displayed in upper
part of the output.

1- Introduction
This Template helps design simply supported crane girders comprising a UB section at its bottom and a
PFC, RSC or a Plate section at its top. By omitting the top section, the girder can also be a UB section
alone.
The compound section of a girder can be Class 1 Plastic, Class 2 Compact or Class 3 Semi-compact
sections.
Class 4 slender sections as crane girders are outside the scope of this template. BS5950-1: 2000
appear ambiguous for calculating the necessary Zx effective values and it may not be a good idea to use
such sections as crane girders.
The crane class can be Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4 as defined in BS 2573-1:1983. The steel grades can be S275,
S355 or S460.
The Template allows storing data for up to 100 Crane girders. Any girder data can be recalled, amended
and re-stored later to suit design needs.
The method of design used is generally based on the Steelwork Design Guide2. However there is a
difference when it comes to deploying section parts for resisting lateral loads.
Whereas the Guide ignores the top flange of UB to resist horizontal bending and deflection, this template
optionally allows including it in line with a conventional design practice of the past5.
2- Using CRANEgirder
"Home" worksheet allows navigation to all worksheets through its command buttons. To design a Crane
Girder, the data input and output is via "Cranegirder" worksheet.
Utilising Windows interface, the use of CRANEgirder is self explanatory.

File: 61794800.xls Tab: Notes

Page 6/20

Date Printed: 06/28/2011

All data input is via green colour cells. The user is responsible for values in these cells to make an
engineering sense. The result output is via rest of the non-green colour cells
At top of the screen, four command buttons allow storing, retrieving and navigating through the stored
information. For example using the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons, data can be viewed in girder
sequence numbers.
During its use, CRANEgirder keeps an eye on 7 adequacy checks. It reports the outcome at top left
corner of the screen in Cell A2.
When a girder passes all 7 checks, "All Checks OK" message is displayed. When it is not so, failing
check numbers are displayed and the background colour of the cell changes to red.
To improve structural usage of the crane girder, eight usage ratios are calculated and a maximum value
displayed in upper part of the worksheet. This ratio represents the actual to permitted values on
deflection and strength for the chosen girder.
3- Crane Classes
The descriptions as per BS2573-1 are:
Q1 - Light - hoisting SWL very rarely and, normally light loads
Q2 - Moderate - hoisting SWL fairly frequently and, normally moderate loads
Q3 - Heavy - hoisting SWL very fairly frequently and, normally heavy loads
Q4 - Very heavy - normally hoisting loads close to SWL
4- Single or Double Flange Wheels in the End Carriage
Single or double flange wheels can be specified in the end-carriages via a drop down menu.
In the case of single flange wheels, the transverse surge is shared by two wheels in one end-carriage of
the crane bridge.
In the case of double flange wheels (i.e. one flange on each side of the rails), the transverse surge is
shared by four wheels in two end-carriages of the crane bridge.
Generally, double flanged wheels are assumed in a routine design.
5- Impact Factor
For overhead travelling cranes, Cl 2.2.3 of BS 5950-1:2000 states that the impact effects and the vertical
and horizontal dynamic loads should be determined in accordance with BS 2573-1.
As stated in Cl 3.1.4 of BS2573-1, the impact factor applies to the motion of the hook load in a vertical
direction and covers inertia forces including shock.
In order to calculate dynamic wheel loads for Crane girder design, the hook load is multiplied by an
impact factor. For example, Table 4 of BS2573-1 gives a value of 1.3 for medium and heavy
workshop/warehouse duty cranes.
This Template permits using various impact factors. The values that can be selected from a drop down
menu are 1.1, 1.25, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 2.
The values of 1.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 2 are from Table 4 of BS 2573-1. The value of 1.25 is for a traditional
design with dynamic effects based on BS 449.
6- Crane Girder Section
The Crane girder section can have up to two parts. The bottom section is always a UB. The top section
can be a PFC, RSC, Plate or Nil.
To select the main UB section, use its drop down menu and click any desired section.
To select the top section, again use its drop down menu and scroll down to click any desired PFC, RSC,
Plate or a Nil section.
The plate section dimensions can be specified by amending h & b dimensions in worksheet PFC. The
cells for these dimensions are shown in green colour.
To select a Nil section, scroll to very bottom of the drop down list and select Nil.
7- Calculated Weight of the Crane Girder

File: 61794800.xls Tab: Notes

Page 7/20

Date Printed: 06/28/2011

This weight is obtained by multiplying span length and mass/m of the combined section i.e. = L M. It is
calculated for information only as the user may need to include the weight of various attachments e.g.
crane rails, packing plates, etc.
A conversion factor of 1kN = 101.971621297793 kg is used.
8- Plastic Modulus of the Section
The plastic modulus Sx is found by considering 5 strips A1 to A5 to represent the combined section. The
root radius areas of the sections are ignored for simplicity in calculations.
Starting from top, the width of these areas are Dc, (Bb+2Tfc), (Twb+2Tfc), Twb & Bb. The corresponding
heights of these strips are Twc, Tfb, (Bc-Twc-Tfb)>=0, (D-Bc-Tfb) & Tfb.
The calculation details for Sx are shown in the table.
9- Section Classification of the Compound Girder Section
The combined girder section is classified using Cl 3.5.3 and Table (11) of BS5950-1:2000. The
dimensions and the limiting width-to-thickness ratios used are shown and described below

10- Structural Deployment of Various Section Parts

CRANEgirder offers an option to ignore top flange of the UB to resist horizontal bending and deflections.
The Yes/No cell input allows the flange to be ignored or included. To signify this point, the flange
resisting lateral loads is shown dotted in the following sketch.
When the crane girder has no top element (FFC, RSC or Plate), however, CRANEgirder always includes
the UB flange to resist lateral bending and deflection; the Yes/No input is ignored when the UB section
alone is acting as the crane girder.

11- Horizontal Wheel Loads

These loads act transverse and longitudinal to the crane rails and stem from surge or crabbing.
Due to surge or inertia, the horizontal loads are taken as:
Transverse load of 10% of the combined weight of the crab & the lifted load
Longitudinal load of 5% of the static vertical reactions (i.e. crab + crane + lifted-load)
When the cranes are Class Q1 or Q2, the crabbing forces are not considered. For Class Q3 & Q4
cranes, the transverse crabbing forces are obtained from Cl 4.11.2 of BS 5950-1:2000.
12- Crabbing Force of Trolley
When the crane is class Q3 or Q4, a crabbing force FR is applied as a single point load to calculate the
maximum horizontal moment and deflection.
The critical position of this force is at mid span of the Crane girder. As per Cl 4.11.2, the magnitude of
FR is:
FR = Lc Ww / (40 s) but >= Ww/20
When the crane is class Q1 or Q2, the crabbing force FR is assumed to be zero and the Crane girder is
designed for the surge forces only.
13- Partial Factors for Loads
Table 2 in Cl 2.4.1.1 of BS 5950-1:2000 specifies the following load factors:
1.6 Vertical crane loads
1.4 Vertical crane loads acting together with horizontal crane loads
1.6 Horizontal crane loads (surge or crabbing)
1.4 Horizontal crane loads acting together with vertical crane loads.
When a Crane girder is also subjected to imposed and wind loads, Table 2 of BS 5950-1:2000 gives
other load factors. However, these loads are outside the usage of this Template and their factors are not
summarised above.
14- Load Combinations
Cl 2.4.1.3 of BS 5950-1, specifies the following principal load combinations:
Crane Combination 1: Dead, imposed load and vertical crane loads
Crane Combination 2: Dead, imposed load and horizontal crane loads
Crane Combination 3: Dead, imposed load, vertical crane loads and horizontal crane loads
As discussed in section 20.2.2 of the Steelwork Design Guide2, load combination 2 is meant for the
design of Crane girder supports rather than itself. Hence this combination is not considered and only the
following two combinations are checked.

File: 61794800.xls Tab: Notes

Page 9/20

Date Printed: 06/28/2011

1.4 Dead Load + 1.6 Vertical Crane Load

1.4 (Dead Load + Vertical Crane Load + Horizontal Crane Surge/Crabbing)
When calculating maximum moment and deflection in the horizontal direction, the surge or crabbing load,
whichever causes the maximum effect, is used.
15- Vertical Wheel Loads
The maximum unfactored static wheel load is:
Wus = Wc / 4 + (Wcap+Wcb) (Lc-ah) / (2 Lc)
The maximum unfactored dynamic wheel load is:
Ww= Impact-factor Wus
16- Vertical and Horizontal Deflection
Using Table 8 of BS 5950-1:2000, the suggested limits for deflections are:
Vertical deflection due to static wheel load:
Span/600
Horizontal deflection (using top section properties alone) due to horizontal crane loads:
Span/500
The formula for vertical deflection due to Crane girder self weight is:
5 Wg L^3 / (384 E Ix)
The formula for vertical (and similarly horizontal) deflections due to two equal point loads acting at
distances a & c from the supports is:
Wus L^3 [ 3(a+c)/L - 4(a^3 + c^3)/L^3 ] / [48 E Ix]
The formula for horizontal deflection due to a single crabbing load FR at mid span is:
FR L^3 / (48 E Iyfc)
When calculating deflections, full combined section is used for the vertical loading & part combined
section (comprising PFC/RSC/Plate and optionally top UB flange) for the horizontal loading.
17- Shear Resistance at Supports Fv < Pv
Pv = 0.6 py Av = 0.6 py Twb Db
18- Vertical Moment Resistance x-x
Lateral-torsional buckling moment capacity Mb is calculated using Cl 4.3.6.3 and Cl 4.3.6.9.
A girder section can be Plastic, Compact or Semi-compact nut not slender.
When a girder section happens to be slender, Mb calculations become outside the scope of this template
and the value of Mb is made equal to zero.
Mb= pb Sx for Class 1 Plastic and Class 2 Compact Sections
Mb= pb Zx for Class 3 Semi-compact Sections, using the lesser of Zx top and Zx bottom values.
In the above, pb =f(py, LamdaLT) and is obtained from Table 17 of BS 5950-1:2000 and by using Cl
4.3.6.7 to calculate various factors as below:
LamdaLT= u v Lamda (Bw)^0.5
Bw=1 for class 1 plastic and Class 2 Compact sections
Bw=Zx/Sx for Class 3 Semi-compact sections, using the lesser of the Zx top and Zx bottom values
Lamda=Le/ry
u = [4 Sx^2 (1-Iy/Ix)/{A^2 hs^2}]
v = 1 / [{4N(1-N) + 0.5 (Lamda/x)^2 + sai^2}^0.5 + sai ]^0.5
x = 0.566 hs(A/J)^0.5
hs = Db +Twc/2 -Tfb
sai =kn (2N-1) (1 + 0.5 DL/D) where kn=0.8 when N>0.5 and kn=1 when n<0.5
The buckling resistance is checked by using the following two interaction expressions:
mx Mx / py Zx + my My / py zy <=1 and
mLT MLT / Mb + my My / py Zy <=1

File: 61794800.xls Tab: Notes

Page 10/20

Date Printed: 06/28/2011

As per Cl 4.11.3, the lateral torsional factor buckling factor mLT is taken as 1. The equivalent uniform
moment factors mx and my for flexural buckling are also taken as 1 for simplicity, i.e. the moment
gradient is ignored.
19- Horizontal Moment Resistance y-y
The horizontal moment is assumed to be resisted by the top section and, if selected, by also including
top flange of the bottom UB. It is given by:
Mcy = py Zyfc
As stated above, full PFC/RSC/Plate and optionally UB-top-flange is included in the value of Zyfc.
20- Web Bearing & Buckling at Support
This is checked as per rules given in Cl 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 of BS 5950-1:2000
The data input required is
the stiff bearing length b1 at support,
the distance be from beam-end to the stiff bearing edge and
the nature of beam-end restraint represented by Le/d ratio.
The unstiffened web bearing capacity as per Clause 4.5.2.1 is
Pbw =(b1 + n k) Twb pyw
where n = 2 + 0.6 be / k <=5 ; k = Tf + r for rolled & k = Tf for welded section;
The unstiffened web buckling capacity to Cl 4.5.3.2 is:
Px = K1 K2 [25e t / Sqrt{(b1+n k) d}] Pbw
where K1 is the reduction factor for proximity to the beam end and is given by:
K1= (ae + 0.7 d)/(1.4d) <=1
and K2 is the reduction factor for the nature of the beam end restraint given by:
K2 = 0.7 d/Le
In the above, ae = b1/2 + be when be>=0 and ae = b1/2 + e/2 when be<0
When the flange for applying the reaction or load is effectively restrained against both:
a) rotation relative to the web;
b) lateral movement relative to the other flange
the value of Le/d ratio is 0.7 and the factor K2 becomes equal to 1.
Where a) or b) are not met, the Le/d ratio is to be determined as per Cl 4.7.3 for the appropriate
conditions of end-restraint.
Using Table 22 of BS 5950-1:2000, various values of Le/d ratios that can be used are summarised in a
table below. They can be selected via drop down menu of the input cell.

21- Local Compression under the Wheel

As per Cl 4.11.4, the local compressive stress is obtained by load distribution over a length XR given by:
XR= 2(HR+Tfc+Twc) <=s
The magnitude of this stress is
fw = 1.6 Ww/ [XR Twb]

22- UB-Flange to Top Section Weld

CRANEgirder does not size or design this weld as in most cases it needs to be continuous nominal size
weld.
However, it calculates the magnitudes of both the longitudinal and the transverse shears and also their
resultants. Using these values, welds can be sized by the user.
The horizontal shear in each of the two welds due to vertical reaction is:

File: 61794800.xls Tab: Notes

Page 11/20

Date Printed: 06/28/2011

Rb Ac (Ytop -Cy)/(2Ix)
This force acts in longitudinal direction of the Crane girder.
In addition, the surge and crabbing actions also cause shear in these welds.
Whereas the shear due to surge occurs in both the longitudinal and the transverse direction, the shear
due to crabbing is assumed to occur in the transverse direction only.
The weld length XR for transferring the surge and crabbing forces from the top-section to the UB-flange
is given by:
XR= 2(HR+Twc)
23- Reactions on to the Support Structure
Unfactored values of these reactions are calculated as maximum for crane girder-1 and corresponding
minimum for girder-2
These reactions are due to dead and crane loads acting on supports of the two girders. Their directions
are vertical, longitudinal and transverse in relation to the girder span.
Two sets of values are calculated for crane reactions. One set is for crabbing and the other for crane
surge. To design the support structure, critical set values need to be used.
The maximum reaction due to crane crabbing occurs when one carriage wheel is at the support and the
other within the girder span at distance s.
The maximum reaction due to crane surge occurs when the two carriage wheels are symmetrically
placed at equal distance from a middle support.
A static 3D diagram shows the position of crane bridge causing maximum crabbing and surge reactions
together with the direction and position of induced reactions.
24- Cautions & Limitations of Use
CRANEgirder allows changing of plate sizes towards bottom of the PFC data sheet. Any section change
made here applies also to all stored crane girders being recalled later and using the changed section.
CRANEgirder allows selecting bottom and top section parts to make a compound crane girder. However,
it makes no detailing checks to ensure a logical section. It is therefore the user's responsibility to specify
a feasible compound section.
As mentioned in the introduction section, CRANEgirder allows inclusion of the top flange of UB to resist
lateral bending and displacements. Although a past design practice, this aspect differs from the
Steelwork Design Guide2 and gives less conservative results.
Storing crane girder data does not save the Excel file to the hard disk. It merely writes information of a
crane girder into the Store worksheet. When finishing the use of CRANEgirder, save the Excel file in the
usual windows manner.
Do not delete contents of cells O1, O2 & O3 as being unprotected for Excel use purposes. They house
bottom & top section numbers and crane numbers.
