Gantry Girder Design Example

This document provides a problem statement and design calculations for a gantry girder using built-up steel sections. The problem involves designing the girder to support a crane with maximum wheel loads of 420 kN. Key calculations include: determining maximum shear and bending moments of 919 kN and 2918 kN-m; selecting standard steel sections with a total area of 67,200 mm^2; checking capacity and interaction; and adding intermediate stiffeners to the built-up section where required. The designed built-up girder was determined to have sufficient strength and satisfy deflection limits.

Maximum wheel load = RA = 200 + 640(40 – 1.2)/40 = 820.8 kN

Maximum load per wheel = 820.8/2 = 410.4 = 420 kN (assumed) 40 m

Self weight of girder = Total load on girder X span (m)/180


= 420 × 2 × 15/180 = 70 kN = 70/15 kN/m = 4.67 kN/m.
420 kN 420 kN
4.75m 4.67 kN/m

Arrangement of maximum LLSF: 15 m


RA RB
Maximum LLSF = 420 + 420(15 – 4.75)/15 = 707 kN.
Considering 25% impact for EOT crane, LLSF = 1.25 × 707 = 884 kN [Cl. 6.3.a of IS: 875 (II) – 1987]
Shear force due to 70 kN of DL = 70/2 = 35 kN
So, Total SF = 884 + 35 = 919 kN.

Maximum live load bending moment with impact = 1.25 ×2231.47 = 2790 kN – m
Maximum dead load bending moment at the section of maximum LLBM

Total maximum bending moment = 2790 + 128 = 2918 kN – m
Transverse load per wheel = (1/4)[(1/10)(140+500)] = 16 kN [due to braking of crab unit; Cl. 6.3.c.1 of IS: 875(II)]
Maximum transverse SF = (16/420)×707 = 27 kN
Maximum transverse BM = (16/420)×2232 = 86 kN – m.

Capacity Md = 1.0 × 7.856 × 106 × 209.1 N – mm = 1643 kN – m
Limiting bending moment developed = 1.5 × 86 = 129 kN – m << 1643 kN – m (O.K.)
Now, interaction check: (cl. 9.3.1.1, pg 70)
Now, N = 1.5 × 42 = 63 KN; Nd = Agfy / γm0 =14050.9 kN [since, Ag = 67200 mm2, fy = 230 Mpa, γm0 = 1.1 (Table
5, pg 30)]
N/Nd + My/Mdy + Mz/Mdz = (63/14050.9) + (4377/5952) + (129/1643) = 0.818 < 1.0 (O.K.)
Steel grade used here as E250 (Fe410W)A, as tw = 8 mm and fy = 250 Mpa, so, εf = (250/fy)0.5 = 1.0 [from Table 1]

From Cl. 8.6.1.2 of IS: 800 – 2007, pg 64; d/tw =1200/8 = 150 < 345 (εf )2 = 345.
So, compression flange buckling will not occur.
Now, refer, Cl. 8.7.4, pg 67; Fw = (b1+n2)twfyw/ γm0
Let, b1 = 200 mm, n2 = 2 × 2.5 × 40 = 200
Local capacity of web at connection = Fw = (200+200) × 8 × 250/1.1 = 727.3 × 103 N = 727.3 kN
Factored reaction = 1.5 × 919 = 1379 kN > 727 kN
So, end stiffeners will be required.

Check for deflection:
From Cl.8.6.1., pg 63, c = 600 mm and d = 1200 mm.

Here, C < d; d/tw = 1200/8 = 150 < 270 εw = 270 × 1.0 = 270
So, deflection is O.K.
