Analysis and Design of Crane Beam of Experimental Power Plant Turbine Building

Abstract

The turbine building is one of the main buildings in the experimental power plant (RDE). Turbine and condenser generators are the main components of the turbine building. The total weight of the generator and condenser is about 80 tons. It is estimated that the toughest parts of turbines and condensers are about 20 tons. The turbine building will be equipped with an overhead crane double girder. The benefits of cranes are as lifting equipment to assist the installation and maintenance of generators and condensers. The purpose of this paper is to design and analysis of the planned RDE turbine beam crane building. The method used is Load Resistance Factor Design or called LRFD methods. Some of the standards used include AISC Design Guide 7 second edition and CISC Crane Guide second edition. Based on the basic drawing of the turbine building design, the distance of the crane supporting column is 14 meters. It is planned that the total length of the girder crane is 13 meters. Weight hoist and trolley 2,950 kg and double girder 10,120 kg selected from one vendor crane product. The results of the calculations and checks show that the W shape with Cap Chanel W27x84 C15x33.9 is safe to used.
