Mechanics Analysis of Tower Crane

Abstract:

With accelerating urbanization construction, especially with the scale enlargement of high-rise buildings, the crane’s hoist boom length and height is increasing.The hoist boom will produce strength and buckling failure easily on the working condition of complex combination, such as gravity, wind load and inertia force.The TC6010 crane was analyzed the mechanics by finite element method. This thesis got its stability and strength data in four kinds of working conditions. It can provide certain reference value for other crane’s design and calculation.
