Unidirectional laterat forces, such as those due to inertia force effects during the start-up and braking of crane DIN 15018 Part Page 5 trolleys (see figure 2) shall be distributed uniformly be~ tween all the track wheels or guiding means. Lateral forces acting in opposite directions arise if a dis- tance /, exists detween the centre of the masses to be ‘moved and the resultant of the driving forces. Where these {forces are transmitted through the track wheels.andwhere thera are more than two wheels per runway side. they shail ‘be uniformly distributed between the cuter wneeis or outer wheel groups as shown in the examples illustrated in figure 4, namely, where there are not more than four wheels per rail, to one outer wheel per corner, ‘where there are not more than eight wheels per ral, to the ‘wo outer wheels per corner, ‘where there are more than eight wheels per r outer wheels per comer. As far as the supporting structure is concerned, eg. the bridge, trolley or balancer, the lateral forcas shall, howevar, be distributed uniformly betweenall the wheels of a corner, ven in the zone of the inner unloaded track wheels as shown in figure 4.

The above-mentioned concentrated loads need not be taken into account in respect of any member stressed by lifted loads in accordance with subciause 41.3, such as the main girders of crane bridges. 4,3 Special loads 4.3.4 Tilting force arising in crane trotieys with positive guidance of the lifted toad ‘The force due to the tilting of crane trolieys with positive ‘guidance of the lifted toad shall be determined from the tt- ing conditions without regard for the factors described in ‘subclause 41.6, a8 @ horizontal load Ki acting at floor level ‘or obstacle level, and in the direction of trolley or crane travel. The trolley shall be assumed to be located in the most unfavourable position for this purpose. Unless amore ‘accurate calculation is made, Ki shall be distributed pro- portionally between both sides af the craneway without ‘considering any inertia force effects or any skidding of the driven track wheels (see figure 6). The vaiue of Ki may be limited to 4 of the sum of the self weight of the tralley Gy. plus the lifted load P. If there is an operational possibilty of the tited trolley titing back again to its narmat position due to the sudden yielding of the obstacle, then the forces atsing from such an occur rence shail be taken into account. 43.2 Butter forces ‘As regards this special load case, it is assumed that in ‘normal operation cranesor tralleyscolide with one another (oF collide against butter stops only on rare occasions. The butler forces Pu due to cranes of trolleys crashing against stops or colliding with one ancther shall be limited by buffersor by similar onergy absorbing means. The required energy absorption capacity ofthebu‘lersand ‘he inen. hum 1 butter forces Pu shall be determined on the basis of 85% of the rated travelling speed of cranes and 100% of the rated. traveling speed of trolleys. in cases where automatic devices for slowing down the motion ar@ installed, the required energy absorption ‘capacity of the buffers and the maximum buffer forces Pi: ‘may be computedon the basis ofthe highest traveling speed likely to arise In such a case, but this shall be not less than 70% of the rated speed. Furthermore the kinetic energy released on the cotision of two eranes characterized by the moving masses my and snd by the amounts |2e | and |'¢2| of the maximum trav ing speed shail be defermined by the following equation: my + mia + (loeal + |oe2))* 2 (my + ma) For the verification of the butters and of the strength of the Supporting structure, the forces arising from the moving ‘masses of ta seif woights andof the positively guideditted loads situated in the most unfavourable position, if appli ‘cable, shall be entered in the calculation in each case, but the factors mentioned in subclause 4.1.4 shall not be used. Loads suspended from carrying means and freely oscillat- ing loads need not be considered. An appropriate substi tute mass shailbe enteredin the calculation inlieu of that of the rotating parts of the sunning gear. The butter forces ‘shall be distributed in accordance with the buffer charac- teristics and the possible movements of the supporting structure. In this connection, the resistances to motion due tothe frictional contact between trackwheels and railsmay be allowed for by means of a factor f= 0,20. Inthe case of cranes or trolleys with or without useful oad, ‘no negative wheel loads may result from 1,1 times the buffer force and from the seif weights and lifted loads previously mentioned. Unless a more accurate stress analysis is car- fied out, the butfer forces shall be multiplied by an oscils- tion coefficient in accordance with table 6 for the stress analysis, depending on the shape of the area beneath the butter characteristic.

In the case of cranes which do not require a verification of stabilty to be carried out, the test loads are obtained by ‘multiplying the lifted load P by the following factors: ‘small testload: Pk= 1.25 - P large test load: Pg = 1.98 - P, forliting classes H1 and H2; (subject to particular agreement): Pg = 1,80 - P, forliting classes H3 and H4. Forthe stressanalysis, the small estload hallbe multiplied by itt a ‘The design loads used in the stress analysis with the crane subjected to the tast load are based on the following pro- cedure. Itthe crane is loaded with the small testload, ai the permi sible motions shall be carried out individually withthe load situated in the most unfavourable position; however, due ‘care should be observed during the test.

DIN 15018 Part Explanatory notes relating to the April 1974 edition Standard DIN 120 Part 1, November 1936 edition, and its supplements issued at later dates were originally intended ‘0 serve as quidalines for the building inapectorate, cover- ing stee! structures for both cranes and craneways. Such structures shall be designed and constructed in accord: ance with most modern techniques of current engineering practice. Since crane structures are constituent parts of ‘machines, whereas cranewaysave static structures or com ponents thereot, different conditions obviously apply to these two cases: consequently, it was decided right from the start wnen revising OIN 120?art1 to saparate the stand- ards according to the subject matter cavered by them (DIN 18018 to deal with cranes and DIN 4192 to deal with craneways). They differ where necessary, 2s in the case of the design loads, but they agree wherever possible, suchas in tha veritication of service strength of the components and connections and joints. The technical committee entrusted with the revision was able on the one hand to make good use of the many yearsof experience gainad with DIN 120 Part 1, and on the other hand to take into account the most recent and wall substantiated results of research. In this context, the Supplement to DIN 120, November 1944 ‘edition, has also been withdrawn, ‘The purpose of the new standardsis to enable designers to achieve an economic design and construction which fully ‘meets all safety requirements, on the basis of assumptions closely refiecting actual conditions, and of an adequate ‘computation. The new features and the changes in comparison with DIN 120 Part 1 are dealt with in these explanatory notes relating to DIN 15016 Part 1,a8 faras cranes are concerned. ‘The specitications ofthis standard are to be applied in their ‘entirety and neither supplemented nor substituted by parts of DIN 120 Part 1, or by other crane standards. In adeltion, the “Principles of design and construction” (DIN 15016 Part 2) shall be taken into account for the design of crane structures. The terminology and nomenclature are in harmony with DIN 1080 (symbols used in structural analysis in civil engineering), tor the sake of uniformity and clearer under- standing. Thus, for example, all external forces, je. forces acting none direction only, are referradito as loads, where 3 all internal forces acting n two directions at the banks of cuts are referred to as stress recuitanta;it should therefore 'bo borne in mind that the term “load” always reprasants a comprehensive concept not restricted to describing such ‘things a3 a useful oad, alfted load or an imposed load, 03 was formerly the case. Like all similar recently published design principles, DIN 15018is not intended as a pocket guide for the design ‘and dimensoning of supporting structures. On the contrary, itcontentsitselfwith the enunciation of generally valid rules for the design loads, the load cases and the required ana~ lyses.and verification. The proper application of the present standard presupposes 2 clear understanding. of the relationships between tho mode of operation and the design of cranes, allied with a comprehensive engineering ‘grasp of mechanics and with a very thorough knowledge of the behaviour of materials and of siructural steel fabricst- ing methods. Although this standard applies basicallyto structures made: of steel, its principles are equally applicable to other struc- {ural materials, such as ight metals. on condition that thein- fluences due to the other material are taken into account fully and correctly as regards quantitative relationship, Ret Field of application ‘Apart from cranes and crane equipment, the feld of appl: Cation also cavers mobile steel structures for continuous Conveyors, but not craneways, excavators, waggen tippers ‘and mining machinery. Re 2 Standards and documents raterred to Alistis given of those standards and guidelines which areto Dbeobservedinallcases without turthar individual reference anda further lst of standards and guidelines to which rete ‘encais made in the text of this standard, involving either the, ‘entire standard concerned or extracts thereof.

Re 4 Design loads Under this heading, a new approach has been made with ‘regard to the distinction between individual loads. Grane structures in service are subjectadto repeated loads ‘arable with time, which, for their part, trigger veriable ‘stresses in the structural components and connections via, the interaction of the static system and of the cross- sectional shape. The purpose of making a distinction be- tween additional loads and special toads is to Clearly define these toads and to avoid therisk of dangerous 8 conditions, such as damaging stress (H), attainment of the yield point or of instability states (H, HZ, HS), due to the bet Consequently all loads which have an effect on the service strength through their actions shall now be regarded as ‘main loads; these include the self weights which are always, present, the iifted loads which act during each operating eyele, including their vertical inertia forces, the inertia forces arising from the motion of cranes, crane com= ‘ponents and tifted loads, and also the centrifugal forces during slewing, 7 All the remaining load effects such as wind loads, forces arising rom skewing, thermal effects, snow loads, loads on walkways, etc. shall be regarded as additional loads and shall only be taken into consideration in respect of the General stross analysis and of the verification of stabilty ‘Tho same applies for the special loads, such as the tilting {forces on crane trolleys with positive guidance ofthe lifted. load, butter forces and test loads; they are aubject 10 special rules with regard to their interaction with the other loads. The abject of introducing these special loeds into the ‘overall picture is to ensure that the crane structure, as an essential component of the production tool “crane” is un- likely to sutter any substantial damage which might ad- versaly affect the production sequence, eveninthe event of but nevertheless unavoidable occur- Re 4.1.4 Vertical inertia forces A distinction has been made between the causes of the Vertical inertia forces, Le. they have been classified into forces due to the motion (travelling, slewing ete.) of cranes ‘or crane components, and into forces due to the heisting oF towering of lftedloads;both these causeslead to vibrations Cf the supporting structure, which is therefore subjected to higher stresses than those which arise rom ‘self weights and lifted loads alone. Th stressesare allowed forn a simplified mannerby the adop- tion of vibration factors, subdivided into self weight factors
