PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Challenges
Structural analysis was performed for a quay crane modification project involving an increase in the crane outreach.
FEM analysis was used to check wheel forces on the quay rail, structural static strength, fatigue and buckling in accordance with FEM 1.001.
STRUCTURAL VERIFICATION
FEM Analysis of the Modified Quay Crane
FEM analysis was performed to assess the quay crane structure after the planned increase in outreach. The verification covered wheel forces on the quay rail, static strength, fatigue and buckling in accordance with FEM 1.001.
