This Part of BS 2573 specifies the basis for computing stresses in crane structures and the way in which permissible stresses in crane structures shall be determined in order to secure economy in design and reliability in operation. For this purpose it specifies a classification system that enables the purchaser and the manufacturer to match a particular crane to the required duty and utilization.
NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
Gives a base for computing stresses in crane structures and permissible stresses for steels to BS 4360. Covers classification based on severity of intended use of load to be considered, selection of steel, minimum thickness of plates and sections, working stresses, basic stresses in joint fastenings, web plates and stiffeners and fluctuating loads. Appendices give classification, use of steels of higher tensile strength than those to BS 4360, effective lengths of jibs, basic formula, design checks, and fatigue strength of structural components.
