Crane Supporting Steel Structure Design Guide
This guide fills a long-standing need for technical information for the design and construction of crane-supporting steel
structures that is compatible with Canadian codes and standards written in Limit States format.
lt is intended to be used in conjunction with the National Building Code of Canada, 2005 (NBCC 2005), and
CSAStandard S16-01, Limit States Design of Steel Structures (S16-01). Previous editions of these documents have not
covered many loading and design issues of crane-supporting steel structures in sufficient detail.
Whilemany references are available as given herein, they do not cover loads and load combinations for limit states
design nor are they well correlated to the class of cranes being supported. Classes of cranes are denned in CSA
Standard B167 or in specifications of the Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA).
This guide provides information on how to apply the current Canadian Codes and Standards to aspects of design of
crane-supporting structures such as loads, load combinations, repeated loads, notional loads, monosymmetrical
sections, analysis for torsion, stepped columns, and distortion induced fatigue.
