After downloading the ZIP file the user can unzip the file and save it to users computer.
User can double click the two EXE files and open them just as normal Excel files.
The 14-day trial will start the same date when user tries any of these compiled Excel files.
During trial period the software provides full functions except that the user can not save the file, but the user can print
the file to printer and get a hard copy of the calculation for verification.
The trial period will expire after 14 days. Any time during or after trial period the user can go to www.civilbay.com to
purchase a license.
After placing the order, the user shall send his/her Computer ID to author for licensing. The user can get his/her
Computer ID by clicking on Contact author button on the pop-up dialog box.
After receiving users Computer ID, the author will send the user a license key to unlock the trial version.
The user shall save the license key file at the same folder where the compiled Excel files locate.
The user can copy, save and rename any of the compiled Excel files and use them same as the normal Excel files.
All the compiled Excel files will fully function as long as they can find the license key in the same folder.
The license key is created using the Computer ID sent by the user and it only works on that computer where the
Computer ID is retrieved from.

Design Basis & Assumption
1. The channel and W section top flange resist the hor. load and the combined section resists the
18.1 on page 56
ver. load. This assumption eliminates the need for an analysis of torsional effects on the combined
section and simplifies the analysis.
2. If A36 channel cap is used on A992 W section then lateral torsional buckling and weak axis

Example 02: Top Running 40 Ton Crane + Runway W Shape with Cap Channel Metric Unit
This is a 35 tonne bridge crane with 5 tonne auxiliary hoist. The bridge has 4 wheels at each side. We need to convert the 4wheel bridge to equivalent 2-wheel bridge for analysis.
Crane Plan
Convert the 4-wheel bridge to equivalent 2-wheel bridge by consolidating 2-wheel into a single wheel.
For an equivalent 2-wheel bridge
Bridge wheel spacing s = 1400 + 2776 = 4176 mm = 4.176 m
Max static wheel load = 153.5 kN x 2 = 307.0 kN

Design Basis & Assumption
1. The channel and W section top flange resist the hor. load and the combined section resists the
18.1 on page 56
ver. load. This assumption eliminates the need for an analysis of torsional effects on the combined
section and simplifies the analysis.
2. If A36 channel cap is used on A992 W section then lateral torsional buckling and weak axis

Top Running & Underhung Bridge Crane Crane Load & Crane Runway Beam Design

Example 03: Top Running 45 Ton Crane + Runway W Shape with Cap Plate Imperial Unit
This is a 40 tonne bridge crane with 5 tonne auxiliary hoist. The bridge has 4 wheels at each side. We need to convert the 4wheel bridge to equivalent 2-wheel bridge for analysis.
Crane Plan
Convert the 4-wheel bridge to equivalent 2-wheel bridge by consolidating 2-wheel into a single wheel.
For an equivalent 2-wheel bridge
Bridge wheel spacing s = 1600 + 2658 = 4258 mm = 14.0 ft
Max static wheel load = 187 kN x 2 = 374 kN = 84.1 kips

Design Basis & Assumption
1. The channel and W section top flange resist the hor. load and the combined section resists the

ver. load. This assumption eliminates the need for an analysis of torsional effects on the combined
section and simplifies the analysis.
2. If A36 channel cap is used on A992 W section then lateral torsional buckling and weak axis

Design Basis & Assumption
1. The channel and W section top flange resist the hor. load and the combined section resists the
18.1 on page 56
ver. load. This assumption eliminates the need for an analysis of torsional effects on the combined
section and simplifies the analysis.
2. If A36 channel cap is used on A992 W section then lateral torsional buckling and weak axis

Example 05: Underhung 7.5 Ton Crane + Runway S Shape Metric Unit
In this example all data are the same as Example 04 except the runway size changing from W360x57 to S310X60.7
This example shows the advantage of using S shape over W shape as underhung crane runway beam due to the bottom
flange local bending check requirement.
