Chapter 5: Design Of End Girder Two end Girder are located at the end of main girder and perpendicular

to it. It also support the crane wheels, which moves over the gantry girder

Design of End Girder: Two types of load are taken by the end girder a. Dead Load i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. viii. Moving Load i. ii. Wt of side truss (Gst) Wt of Platform truss(Gpt), Wt of the horizontal truss(Ght) Wt of florring (Gfl) Wt of Cross bracing(Gcb) Wt of rail(Grail) Wt of operator cabin(Goc) Wt of Travel mechanism(Gtm) Wt of Trolly Structure(G0) Capacity of Crane(Q)

b.

Dead Load: Dead loads are action at point a , b , c and d and e, f are the reaction points by the supported wheels.
