Design analysis of overhead crane for maintenance workshop

Abstract

This research aimed to study the design of the overhead crane of a small fishing boat maintenance factory according to the building and functional requirements of the project based on the ASME B30.2-2005 Standard. The results of the study showed that the design of the runway with steel structure BS: 5950: 2000 grade s460 provided vertical and horizontal deflection values of 4.96 and 16.62 respectively that did not exceed the allowed deflection. It is strong enough for use in construction when the stresses on the beam bridge were analysed by the finite element program compared with the strength of the reinforced steel providing a safety value of 1.83.
