Study on the Influence of Different Supporting Point Stiffness on External Suspension Tower Crane and Supporting Structure

Abstract:

Supporting system of external suspension tower crane is the key factor which impairs the safety of the tower cranes. In this article, the problem is studied about the influence of different supporting point stiffness on the force of the tower crane external suspension. Based on the structural mechanics theory, the displacement of the lower statically indeterminate beam and the horizontal displacement of the upper statically indeterminate truss are solved firstly, then the stiffness of the supporting point on the lower beam and the entirety stiffness of the upper horizontal combination struts can be obtained. We can get the optimal supporting structure by drawing the relationship of stiffness1-stiffness2-force which is of significant to the external suspension’s design and installation in Matlab software.
