Crane Design in accordance with EN 13001 series of standards

Master the scientific basis and the essential rules of crane design, in accordance with EN 13001 series of standards (with equivalent ISO standards)

Objectives:

Upon completion of the training, the attendants will be able to carry out the following:

• Classify a crane or a component
• Evaluate individually and thereafter combine crane load actions
• Verify structural or mechanical components in order to prevent hazards due to yielding, brittle fracture, buckling or fatigue

Pre-requisites:

Adequate knowledge and practical skills in the strength of materials

Pedagogical means:

Alternating theory and practice, including short exercises. Please get ready a scientific calculator.

Who should attend:

The course is designed for Engineering Designers, Engineers, Consultants, Inspectors from Crane Manufacturers, Crane Operators who need to optimize their technical specifications for purchase of new cranes or to check design calculations, for instance, in Construction, Port Services, Steel or Nuclear Plants etc.

Course Outline:

• Classification of cranes and structure or mechanical components
• Determination of regular, occasional and exceptional loads due to hoisting of a load; skewing loads, accelerations, in service and out service winds and Tests
• Load combinations adopting Limit states method
• Proof of integrity of structural elements (brittle fracture, yielding, welded and bolted connections, instability such as bulging and buckling and fatigue)
• Proof of integrity of mechanical components involving wire ropes, wheel or rail contacts, load lifting attachments and bearings
• Presentation of EN 13001 parts dealing with bearings (EN 13001-3-4) without exercise
• Presentation of ISO 11031 “Principles for seismically resistant design”
• Presentation of some standards linked to EN 13001 series, dealing with spreaders (EN 15056), crane runways (Euro codes) and MWEP (EN 280)

PS: For most of the European standards, there are ISO equivalent which are summarised below:

• ISO 4301 equivalent to EN 13001-1 (Classification)
• ISO 8686 & ISO 4302 equivalent to EN 13001-2 (Loads & loads combination)
• ISO 20332 equivalent to EN 13001-3-1 (Proof of Structural Components)
• ISO 16625 rev equivalent to EN 13001-3-2 (Wire Ropes)
• ISO 168881 rev equivalent to EN 13001-3-3 (Wheel / Rail Contacts)
• ISO 17096 equivalent to EN 13155 (Load lifting attachments)

As such, tables shall be provided with the limited technical deviations of those ISO Standards versus the EN versions, such as missing load combinations, different values for some safety factors etc. allowing a quick application of the ISO standards from the training course files based on EN 13001 series.
