So the maximum unfactored static point load per wheel, assuming there are
two wheels on each side, is:
Rw=1.3*0.5*(Rs/2+Rh*(Lc-ah)/Lc)

• Check gantry girder as an unrestrained member for vertical loads.
• Due to interaction between crane wheels and crane rails, crane BS 5950-2000
loads need not be treated as destabilizing, assuming that the rails 4.11.3
are not mounted on resilient pads.

Pb is the bending strength and is dependent on the design strength
py and the equivalent slenderness λLT.

For compound section (Rolled section + plate ), use I and H with
unequal flanges to calculate λLT.

Deflections
Vertical deflection due to static vertical wheel loads from overhead
travelling cranes BS 5950-1-2000
2.5.2 Table 8(c)
Note : The deflection of crane beams can be important and the exact
calculations can be complex with a system of rolling loads. However,
For two equal loads, a useful assumption is that the maximum
deflection occurs at the centre of the span when the loads are
positioned equidistant about the centre.
