BASE PLATE DESIGN

Width of base plate F = 100 mm

Length of base plate A = 200 mm

Thk. of base plate tb = 25 mm

Operating weight of Crane W = 65000 kg = 637650 N

Load per Tyre Q = W/16 = 39853 N

Base Plate Thickness Calculation

Area AF = 20000 mm2

Z

Allowable bending stress (A36, 0.4Sy=0.4*248N/mm2) Fb = 99.20 N/mm2

Since bending stress, fb < Fb , the base plate size is satisfactory

Yield Strength of A36 = 248.00 N/mm²

Allowable stress , Sa ( 0.4Sy) = 99.20 N/mm²
Since sig < Sa , therefore the base plate thickness is satisfactory.

Y = distance from axis to center of section.

SAY
Distance from centre of section to axis, C1 = = 415.00 mm
SA

Distance from centre of section to base, C2 = h - C1 = 415.00 mm

Moment of inertia of section, I = SAY2+SIo-C1SAY = 9.62E+09 mm4

Section modulus, Z = I / C1 = 2.32E+07 mm3

COMPRESSIVE STRESS
Point load acting on the beam area, Fc (= Ws / 2) = 814794 N

Area resist compressive, Ac = 74750 mm2

Compressive stress, Sc (= Fc / Ac) = 10.90 N/mm2

Allowable compressive stress, (= 0.6Sy) = 157.20 N/mm2

Since compressive stress is less than allowable compressive stress, OK.

SHEAR STRESS

Point load acting on the beam area, (Fs (= Ws / 4) = 407397 N

Area resist shear, As = 74750 mm2

Shear stress, Ss (= Fs / As) = 5.45 N/mm2

Allowable shear stress, (= 0.4Sy) = 104.8 N/mm2

Since shear stress is less than allowable shear stress, OK.

BENDING STRESS

Both end overhang, uniform load over entire saddle

Uniform distribution load on saddle, w (= Ws / L+2a) = 543 N/mm

Maximum bending moment at center, M (=(w / 8)( L2 - 4a2)) = 2.04E+08 Nmm

Bending stress, Sb (= M / Z) = 8.79 N/mm2

Allowable bending stress, (= 0.66Sy) = 172.92 N/mm2

Since bending stress is less than allowable bending stress, OK.
