BASE BALLAST

1. GENERAL NOTES
The ballast blocks must be carried out according to the drawings below. It is recommended to observe
the outer dimensions of the blocks and especially the position of the openings allowing the passage of
the ballast fixing devices when they are necessary. The lower and upper surfaces must be perfectly paral-
lel. If not, these blocks may endanger the stability of the ballast and cause an accident.
The reinforcement of the blocks (besides the represented one) is on the crane user’s responsibility who
must prepare this ballast without any supply from us.

2. FABRICATION RULES FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE

2. 1. BASE BALLAST
Concrete and reinforcement determined according to the B.A.E.L. (reinforced concre-
te boundary condition) Rules, 1983.

2. 1. 1. CONCRETE
- ftj = characteristic tensile strength of the j days old concrete
- fcj = characteristic compressive strength of the j days old concrete
NOTE 1 − In any case, the compressive strength is measured by axial pressure of the cylinder having a
periphery of 200 cm2 cross section and a height which is the double of its diameter (16 cm). These dimen-
sions suppose an aggregate size of at least equal to 40 mm, a condition generally fulfilled for reinforced
concrete.
NOTE 2 − The dimensions and characteristics of the reinforcements and of the concrete for the execution
of concrete works indicated in this manual, are defined by a compressive strength value at 28 days old
(j = 28).
Reinforced concrete mixing of 350 kg/m3 − CPA45
that means, for 1 m3 of sand with gravel:
350 kg PORTLAND cement 45.
For a vibrated concrete correctly prepared, we obtain:
fc28 = 20MPa
ft28 = 0,6+0,06fc28 = 1,8MPa
P = Weight of reinforced concrete in kg, weight tolerance 0+4%
D = Average density of reinforced concrete equal to about 2,35

2. 1. 2. STEEL (except other indications)

Es: Longitudinal modulus of elasticity of steel: 200000 N/mm2
i.e. 200000 MPa
Type 1: Reinforcement with high adherence obtained by hot−rolling of natural high−carbon steel.
Quality: Fe E 40 i.e. fe=400MPa
SHOULD THE ABOVE RULES NOT APPLY, REFER TO THE RULES APPLIED IN THE USER
COUNTRY.
