PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Challenges
The static strength of two quay cranes was checked for loads and trolley positions during the normal working cycle. Five different trolley positions were analyzed.
Based on the analysis results, recommendations regarding reinforcement or modification of crane elements and joints were issued.
Two quay cranes were surveyed.
STRUCTURAL VERIFICATION
FEM Analysis of Two Quay Cranes
FEM analysis was performed to assess the static strength of two quay cranes for loads and trolley positions during the normal working cycle.
Analysis was performed for five trolley positions during the normal working cycle.
Verification of the static strength of the crane structures under the defined load cases.
Assessment of crane elements and joints based on the analysis results.
Recommendations for reinforcement or modification of crane elements and joints were issued.
PROJECT OUTCOME
Structural Assessment and Recommendations
The structural analysis provided verification of the static strength of two quay cranes for loads and trolley positions during the normal working cycle. Five trolley positions were analyzed, and recommendations regarding reinforcement or modification of crane elements and joints were issued based on the obtained results
