Study on Prediction Deflection of at the Girder Midspan of Large Tonnage Gantry Crane Rigid Legs

Abstract:

It is the most important inspection index of the deflection value for the girder of gantry crane under rated load in the overall test. In the overall test for large tonnage gantry crane which prepared for experimental weight is very difficult at the site, or even impossible perform test. In the text, it is deduced the girder deflection curve equation where considering the effects of the leg bending moment to the girder deflection When the concentrated load is applied to the position of L/2,L/3 and 2L/3 of the girder. The girder deflection value can be obtained under small load at the position of L/2,L/3 and 2L/3 of the girder and the actual moment of inertia of the girder and two side leg can be obtained. In this way, the deflection of the large tonnage gantry crane are predicted through the data of the three-position method in the small load test. Three-position small load test method provides a practical and effective method for the prediction of the girder deflection of large tonnage gantry structure.
