Skalierbarer modularer Brückenkranträger in Segmentbauweise

Abstract

Manufacturing and transporting of overhead crane girders can be a time and cost-intensive challenge due to their large size. In this work, a new concept for a modularly constructed crane girder will be presented. This crane girder consists of small standardized pieces, which can be produced in a large scale, transported on Europool pallets to their destination and assembled on-site. The connection of the single parts is done via tie rods, which are connected to the ends of the girder and preload the crane bridge. This contribution focuses on the description of the segmented crane girder and its functional principle. Furthermore, the first research results regarding the static and dynamic behavior will be presented.
