 ISSUES WITH TRACK CALCULATION BASED ON EN 1808: 2015

 Significant size increase compared EN 1808-2010 to EN 1808-2015

 EN 1808-2010:
 There is no specific requirements for MBU track design calculation
 MHE track calculation is based on BS 5950-1: 2000 STRUCTURAL USE OF STEELWORK IN BUILDING

 EN 1808-2015:
 Type and size of tracks is now included
 Torsional buckling
 Local stress especially at the web need to be considered (bending, buckling, pressure)

 Use of EN 1808-2015 for track sizing increase track weight approximately:

 20% (for small size track)
 80% (for large size track)

 Internal MHE use, submitted only if client/consultant request

 BS 5950-1 / EN-1808 does not provide any guidelines for curved track calculation
 The calculation is based on procedure of SCI P281 DESIGN OF CURVED STEEL
 Relatively complex procedure which combine FEA and hand calculation for code compliant check
 BMU CURVE TRACK CALCULATION SHEETS

 MAIN VARIABLES

 Curve radius (R)

 Determined based on:
Manufacturing consideration
BMU operation requirement

 Max. Stump Angle (θmax)

 Determined based on strength calculation with the given load and radius
