This European Standard was approved by CEN on 12 June 2006.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national
standards may be obtained on application to the CEN Management Centre or to any CEN member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation
under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN Management Centre has the same status as the
official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Table 7.2: Limiting values of vertical deflections

Description of deflection (deformation or displacement) Diagram

a) Veltical deformation ~ of a runway beam:

bz ~ LI600 and ~ ~ 25 mm

The vertical deformation should be taken as the total

i<-----------------L----------~·
deformation due to vertical loads, less the possible pre-camber, as
for ~nax in figure AI. 1 of EN 1990.

b) Difference bs.h c between the vertical deformations of two

beams forming a crane runway:

bs.hc ~ sl600

c) Veltical deformation 4ayof a runway beam for a monorail

hoist block, relative to its supports, due to the payload only:

4ay ~ LI500

7.4 Limitation of web breathing

(1) The slenderness of web plates should be limited to avoid excessive breathing that might result in fatigue
at, or adjacent to, the web-to-flange connections.
(2) Excessive web breathing may be neglected in web panels where the following criterion is satisfied under
the frequent load combination, see EN 1990:

S 1,1 (7.1 )

where: b is the smaller dimension of the web panel;

are the linear elastic buckling coefficients given in EN 1993-1-5;

aE 190000 I (hi t Hi? [N/mm2];

O"x,Ed,ser is the direct stress in the web panel;

is the shear stress in the web panel.

(3) Excessive web breathing may be neglected in web panels without longitudinal stiffeners, in which the
ratio b/tw is less than 120, where tw is the web thickness.
