Explanatory notes relating to the April 1974 edition

Standard DIN 120 Part 1. November 1936 edition. and Itssupplements Issued at laler dates were originally Intended10 serve as gUlaelines'for the bUilding inspectorate, cover·Ing steet structures lor both _cranes ~nd cran_eways. SUCh

.. structures ·sh'all be designed and constructed in accord·ance With most modern teChniques of current engineeringpractice. Since crane structures are constituent paris ofmachrnes, whereas craneways are sialiC structures or com­ponents Ihereof, different conditions obviously apply tothese Iwo cases; consequently, it was decided right fromIhe slart when revising DIN 120 Part 1 10 separate the stand­ards according 10 the subject matter covered by them(DIN 15018 to deal with cranes and DIN 4132 to deal withcraneways). They.di!fer where n~ce~sary.as In the case ofthe design loads. but they agre.e wherever possible. such asIn the verification of service strength of the componentsand connections and joints. The technical committeeentrusted with the revision was able on Ihe one hand to

. make good use of the many years of experience gained WithDIN 120 Part" ,. and on the other hand to take into account-Ihe most recent and well substantiated results of research.In this context. the Supplement to DIN 120. November 1944edillon. has also been withdrawn.

The purpose of the new standards is to enable designers to\ achieve an economic design and construction which fully

meels aU safety requirements. on the basis of assumptiof"!s. closely reflecting actual conditions. and of an adequate

computation.

The new reatures and the changes in comparison withDIN 120 Part 1 are dealt with in these explanatory notesrelating to DIN' 5 018 Part 1. as far as cranes are concerned.

The specifications of this standard are to be applied in Iheirenllrety and neil her supplemented nor substlluled by partsof DIN 120 ParI 1. or by other crane standards. In addition..the "Principles of design and construction" (DIN 15018Part 2) shall be taken IOtO account for Ihe design of craneStructures.

The terminology and nomenclature are in harmony withDIN 1080 (symbols used in structural analysis in Civilengineering). for the sake of uniformity and clearer under­standing. Thus. for example. all exlernal forces, i.e. forcesacting in one direction only, are referred to as loads. where­as all internal forces acting in two directions at the banks otcuts are referred to as stress resultants: it should thereforebe borne in mJOd that the lerm ~Ioadn always represents acomprehens'lVe concept not restricted to describing such

>·1 things as a useful load. a lifted load or an imposed load. aswas formerly the case.

Like all similar recently published design principles.DIN 15018 is not intended as a pocket gUide for the designand dimensonrng 01 supporting structures. On the conlrary,It can tents Itself with the enunciation at generally valid ruleslor the design loads. the load cases and the requrred ana­lyses and verification. The proper application of Ihe presentstandard presupposes a clear understanding of therelationships between the mode of operation and Iheaeslgn of cranes. allied WIth a comprehensive engineering.grasp of mechan·lcs and with a very thorough knowledge ofthe behaviour 01 materials and of structural sleellabricat­109 methods.Although this standard applies basically to structures madeof sleel, iiS pnnciples are equally applicable 10 oiher siruc'lural materials. such as light metals. on condition that the in­fluences due to Ihe other material are taken into accountfully and correctly as regards quantitative relationship.

Re 1 Field of application

calIOn also covers mobile steel structures for continuous

conveyors. but nol craneways. excavatorS. waggon tippersand mining mi}chrnery.

Re 2 Siandards and documents reft!rred to

Afist is given of Ih'ose standards ':m·(j guidelines which are tobe observed in all cases without further indiVidual relerenceand a further lisl of standards and guidelines to which reler­ence is made in the text of Ihls standard. involving eIther theentire standard concerned or extracts thereat.

Re· 3 Details to be given for design purposes

The following details shall be provided for deSign purposes:mode of operation. classilication into the relevant liftingclasses and loading groups. the assumed statIc systemwhich reflects actual service conditions as closely as pos·sible. or, where appropriate: a suitably simplified staticloadbearing system which nevertheless results in an in­disputably safe supporting structure. the steel grades used,the cross-sectional values. Ihe stress analyses and verifica­lion of stability·ot all theload.bearing members and essen­tial connections ~nd joints.

Re 4 . Design loads

Under Ihis heading. a new approach has been made withregard to the distinction between individual loads.

Crane structures in service are subjected to repeated loadsvariable With lime. which, for their part, trigger yari{lblestresses in the-structural components and connections viathe interaction of the static system and of the cross­sectional shape. The purpose of making a distinction be­tween main loads. addilionalloads and special loads is toClearly define Ihese foads and to avoid the risk of dangerouslimiting stress conditions. such as damaging stress (H),attainment of the yield point or or instability states (H. HZ.HS). due to the behaviour of the material.

Consequently, all loads which have an effect on the servicestrength through their actions shall now be regarded asmain loads: these include the self weights which are alwayspresent. the lifted loads which act during each operating.CYCle. including therr vertical inertia forces. lhe inertiatorces arising fiOm Ihe motion of cranes. crane com­ponents and lifted loads, and also the centrifugal 'orcesduring slewing.

All the remaining load effects such as wind loads. forcesarising from skewing, thermal effects. snow loads. loads onwalkways. etc. shalt be regarded as additional loads andshall only be taken into consideration in respect of .thegeneral stress analysis and of the verification of stability.The same applies for the special loads. such as the tiltingtorces on crane trolleys with positive guidance of the liftedtoad. buffer forces and test loads: they are subject tospecial rules with regard to therr interaction with the otherloads. The object of introducing these speCial loaas into theoverall picture is to ensure that the crane structure. as anessential component of the production tool hcrane~. is un­likely to SUffer any SUbstantial damage which might ad­versely affect the production sequence, even In the event ofunexpected. rare, but nevertheless unavoidable occur­rences.

Re 4.1.4 Vertical inertia forces

A distinction has been made between the causes of thevertical inertia forces. i.e. they have been classified intolorces due to the motion (travelling, sleWing etc.) of cranesor crane components. and into forces due to the hoisting orlowering of lilted loads: both these causes lead to vibrationsof the supporting structure. which is therelore Subjected tohigher stresses than those which arise from assumed staticself weights and lifted loads alone.

(t.'); and nom'nalload spectrum factors (I,lr). by which the ver­trcally acting roads. the stress resullants. or the stressesariSing therefrom. are to be mUltiplied.

The self weight factors (Ip) apply exclusively for the sellweights of the crane. Including its associated eQulp.ment. asa funcllon of the IravAlling speed or of the clrcumfe'r'enlial .velocity uFo and of lhe condition of the runway; these factorsare situated between 1.1 and 1,2 II may be necessary tosel.ecl higher values of I{J in the case of speedS exceeding200 m/mln and of road travel. In such cases, the reasons forthe chOIce 01 a higher value are 10 be substantiated andparticularly agreed.

In cases where several motions take place simultaneously.1115 permitted to use several different self weight factors inorder to achieve a closer approximation of Irue workmgc'ondilions for Ihe individual groups of components con·cerned. according to their partial self weIghts and their par·lial conditions. The vertical inertia forces due to self weightsalone are to be entered in the calculation in the same way asbefore, in accordance wilh DIN 120 Part L

The mertia forces due to the sudden picking up of liftedloads, which is the condition normally considered here. andwhIch forces rn this standard are still assumed to act ex·elusively in the vertIcal direction, depend on the one handon the springing of Ihe system. i.e. on the elastiCity of thehoisting ropes and 01 the crane structure, and on the otherhand on lhe instantaneous hoisting speed at the start of thehoisting. operation. which depends on the nominal"hoistirigspeed vH and on Ihe crane driver"s mode of driVing. Basedon measurement results and on experimenlal data. the con­ventIonal cranes have been classified into lifting classes H 1to H 4 (table 2) with the nominal load spectrum factors '"ranging from 1.1 10 1.3 in the case ofH 1.and Irom 1.4 to 2,2 inthe case of H 4. in accordance wilh lable 2 and figure 1. Thelilted loa os. the stress resurtants or the stresses derivingtherefrom are 10 be multiplied by these factors. These fac­tors are also intended 10 make allowance for various un­certainties In the determlnalion of other influences. As mthe case of the self weight faclors t{J. it is permitted. Whenselecting the nominal load spectrum factors 1/1. 10 approxi·mate the true conditions more closely in individual cases bycorrelating certain indiVIdual structural assemblies whichare clearly separated from one another into different lift·ing classes. If the hoisting conditions are accurately known.

The above comments make it clear that the nominal loadspectrum factor IJ.r has been defined more precisely thanwas the former compensation factor 1/1 specified in DIN 120Part I. these former compensation factors were designedto allow both forlhe increased stresses resulting fromInerlla forces due 10 hOIsting motions and lor the reducedservice strengths of the malerials when subjected tofrequently repeated variable slressing. This mixing of twophenomena and characleristics which are entirely unrelatedto one another has now been elimmated (see clause 7A).

Re 4.1.5 Inertia forces arising from driving mechanisms

The mertia forces which arise during lhe acceleration andoeceleralion of crane motions depend for their Origin on IheapproxImately equal driVing and braking torques generateddUring every operating cycle. As a general rule. Ihe quaSI­static inertia forces shall be calculaled for both processes(acceleration and deceleration) taking into conSiderationIhe fl:Iechanical system (distribution of masses. velocityconditrons). as weH as the efficienCies and the olher resisl­ances to motion. In the case of mechanisms. such as travel­ling gear unIts, where the transmissibility of the drivingforces is restricted by frictional contact, e.g. between atrack wheel and a rail, the calculalion may be based on anIJQnp-r limIting 'I~II,~ whi<:h tje~e!"'.':!~ ~:"'. tt',e '::.e!~:,::er'.t ~~

10 be conSIdered for the transmIssibility of the largesl pos·SIble driVing force. Thrs applies because Ihe forces must becapable of being fflctlOnally lransmilled even unoer un·favourable conditions. such as (he mlnJmum wheel ioad orthe mJOJmum wheel loads. because the proper functlomngof the mechanism demands it.

To allow for unavoidable transient oscillatIOn phenomenaset up during sudden changes In the drive forces. It is per~

milted to multiply the difference 'of the quasl·st,Hlc forcebefore and alter Ihe sudden actron of the dnve forces by anoscillation coeffiCient of 1.50 ins lead of carrying out a m<?reaccurate calculation at the dynamic forces. The inertia forceeffecls determined in this way shall be suoported In com·plete harmony.. with the loadbearing structure and drivingmechanjsm: ,-ules are given in the standard. by way ofexample', for the distribution of the reactions' o~ the indi·Vidual track wheels, and for the laterallorces arising there·from. Subsequent changes of the driving mechanJsm Willinvolve a change in the design loads of the structure and willalways reqUIre renewed calc.uration.

In cases of wide-span cranes eqUipped with mechanicallyindependent Iravelling bogies fitted wHh an electricalstraight-line running conlrol and/or an anti-skewing safelydevice. the necessary allowance shall be made rn the cal·culation for the dynamic effect of the operatIonal error. or(in emergencies) the maximum permissible control error(see DIN 19226) (elastic forward motion).

. Re 4.1.6 Centrifugal forces

From now on. centrifugal forces are to be taken into con­sideration in Slewing cranes.

Re 4.1.7 Impact from bulk material

The transient forces generated by the impact of bulk mate­rial. which are of very short duration, need only be laken intoaccount as local loads whose action is limited to the load­bearing members immediately affected. and Ihis actionneed nOI be followed down to the bearings and trackwheels.

Re 4.2 AddltlonalloadsApart from the additional loads already menlloned. such asthe wind loads specified in DIN 1055 Part 4, Ihe thermaleffects, the snow loads specified in DIN 1055 Part 5 and theroads on walkways. stairways etc. an important new factorhas been added, viz. the forces ariSing from skewing.

Re 4.2.1 Wind loadsThe design dynamic pressure tor. cranes in service.q = 250 Nlm 2. and Ihe design dynamiC pressures for cranesout of service. which are 10 be entered in the calculationas specified In DIN 1055 Part 4. include the dynamiC ores­sure peaks (Wind gusts) and their dynamIC effects on thesupporting structure. The mean dynamic pressure corre­sponding to these wind conditions is conslaerably smaller.

The design dynamic pressure for cranes in service corre·sponds to a wrnd condition under which the movmg of loadswith Ihe aid of the crane remams barely Just possible innormal cases. Consequently. there may well be instanceswhere il would be reasonable to specify a hlgner or a lowerdesign dynamIC pressure for cranes in serVice. Steps shallhowever always be laken to ensure that crane operation isimmediately discontinued when the Wind conditionapproaches a slate correspondrng to the selected designdynamiC pressure for the crane in service.

The adoption of dilferent design dynamic pressures WIthinthe context described above may. for example, be can·sidered appropriate in the case of coastal cranes, in orderto delay the moment)n lime when such cranes musl be shutdown because of the ~normal case~ wind conditions whichocc.ur more :requenllY alOng the coast; mey !!,~a:t .'iRq p.,econsidered appropriate in the case 01 IfOWm~ttl~ S.

Re 4.2.2 Forces arising from skewing

Forces arising from skewing are generated when the result­ant direction 0: rolling movement of the travelling crane nolonger cOincides wl.th the direction of the craneway rail. andwnen the fran! :iosit.ve guiding means come Into contactwith lhe raiL As:s well known. this unavoidable abnormalityIS caused by tolerances and inaccuracies which arise in lhemanufacture at ~!le crane (bores of track wheels) and of thecraneway (benes. kinks). The values and dislribution ofthese forces deoend chiefly on the clearances of wheelflanges or rollers. also on the number. arrangement. bearingarrangement ana rotational speed synchronization of thetrack wheels ana on the location 01 the guide rollers (if any),or in other words on the systems of the travel mechanismand ot the supporting structure. Depending on lhe possibleskew angle a. wnlch consists of several comoonents as aresult or me causes mentIoned, on the centreline distance

of the wheels relative 10 the Iront guiding means, on thelocation of lhe centre of mass of the entire system depend­ing on the position of the crane trolley. and on the location 01the slip pole. a positive contact force 5 is generated at theIront guiding element (wheel flange or horizontal guideroller) anda group of fric:ionally transmitted forces is alsogenerated at the contact faces of the track wheels.

Guideline values have been specified for the standard case,on lhe basis of whIch the oossible skew angle determiningthe skewing forces can be calculated as a function of thelype of guiding means, the track clearance. the wear. andthe tolerances ofthe crane and craneway: only a 75% trackclearance has been taken 1010 consideration. because theskewing crane normally straightens out again before attain·ing the maximum skew position.

Just as it IS permissible. subject to agreement. to deviate'rom these guideline values and to use a different. well·founded (smaller or larger) value for the skew angle In thecalculation. so is it equally permissible to take into accountthe influence of the overall and local yleldings of the craneand craneway on the forces arising from skeWIng.

Figure 13 illustrates the relationship between lhe guidelinevalues.lhe skew angle and Ihe corresponding coefficient offrictional contact f.The method of calculation descrlbed here has been derivedfrom the tracking technique at raUborne vehicles. and fromthe results of detailed investigations carried out by theBraunschweig Techmcal UniverSIty, using an expenmentalcrane amongst other things. under the sponsorshIp of theV~'~in D~IJ,.~r.h~, A.A-?~~!"Ii",:,"~~~"."'--;::':;::~'"";~';:;:;'GI..,i:l.i,vll ofGerman Mechanical Engineering Plants) and of the Vere;n

The followIng special loads nave been rntroduced InlO thestandard lor (he fnst time. the IlItrng force aC:lng on cranetrolleys with OOSllive gUIdance of the lifted loao. on Impactagarnst an obstacle. the buffer forces generated when thecrane hils stops or buffers. and the leslloads ~PPlledduringloading lesls.

The buffer forces are 10 be determined from the krneticenergy of the collidrng crane. assumrng certain gIven (rav~l­

ThedistributIOn of the buffer forces depends on the locatIOn ofthe centre of mass. on the freedom of movement of thecrane on the craneway and on (he buffer characterrsllcs:lhls distribution is to be determmed in agreement with thestructure and driVing mechamsm.

The purpose 01 lakmg mto account "smaW and "large"' testloads and the assocIated special load cases IS to ensurethat the steel structures at those cranes which are sub'Jecfed to a test loading for Inspection tests or at some laterinspection dale exhibit adequate safety margins in thegeneral stress analysis and In the verification of stabiJHy.This speCial load case may prove to be 01 significance forlhe dimensioning of steel structures or members whiChexhibit a non-linear transmIssion pattern (loads - stressresultants - stresses); Ihls applies. for example. 10 all.supportmg structures or components which are p're­stressed or Which have a vaflable structural configurarion.

The specification of the test loads and details relatIng to thenecessity tor. and the actual performance or load tests oncranes m respect of which no verification 01 stabilily needbe carried out, are dealt with elsewhere.

Re 5 load cases

All the aoove-mentioned main loads and additIonal loads.including the related coefficients. are summarized in table 7under the heading of "normal load cases" and the specialloads are listed under the heading 01 "special toad cases".and the determlnmg interaction 01 the individual loads canbe gathered from this lable for each type of crane. All theloads IIs1ed in the same column represent a separate loadcase. and in aadition a distinction is made in the case of thenormal load cases between H load cases (framed by a thickhne) and HZ load cases.

Re 6 Calculation

In addition to the conventional computational stress ana­lysis. Ihe results of strain measurements may also be in­cluded in the evaluation if Ihe required salety margms areobserved.

As compared WIth DIN 120 Part I. the crane manufacturer maynow also proceed on the assumption that Ihe craneway iscorrectly laid. and if Ihat is not the case. the plant operator isunder obligation to supply the relevant details.

In additIon to structural steel of the conventional steelgrades 5137 and St 52. and to tube steel St35 specified -Intaole 8. other sleel grades may also be used on condillonthat their mechanical and chemical properties and theIrweldability are adequately guaranteed. In these cases. thepermissible str.esses are to be derived from the guaranteedyIeld stress and are to be substantiated from the servicestrengths at 90% survIval probability by lests Closelyapproximating actual serVice condilions. The stresses shallbe determmed separately for the individual load cases withthe usual cross'sectlonal values. and as a general rule II isrecommended to calculate the stresses for the individualloads and linally to superimpose them as specified in table 7.

Re 7.4 Verification at service strength

The veriflcatron of service strength has been modified In

comparison with DIN 120 Part 1. as a result of recent experi­ments and Iresh knowledge. Both the somewhat dubioUS"compensating factors". "'. formerly used for this and otherunrelated purposes. and the coefficients y of DIN 120 Part 1have been discarded. The specifications relating to weldedrailway bridges have been drawn upon as a useful aid whenestablishing the more elaborate differentiating system ofpermissible stresses.

The verification of service strength relating to safetyagainst failure as a result of frequently repealed stressesvimable w~th time need only be carried out for load cases Has described in table 7. forall cranes subjected to more than20 000 stress cycles.

The permissible stresses In this case had to be specified in adifferent way. according to the following characteristics:according to loading groups. which comprise combinationsof differently distributed specific streSS colleclives wilh dif­ferent absolute number of stress cycles, which are likely tocause approximately an equal degree of damage to themembers or to the connections. also according 10 steelgrades. types of stress, notch cases and limiting stressralios.

Since the service strength decreases with increasing stresscycle numbers. ,'l1 to N 4, and with increasing fullness ratiosof the stress cOllectives. 50 10 53 (see figure 8). six loadinggroups. 81 to B o. are listed in table 14 in accordance withthe correlations of these two parameters to one another:

thus. for example, loading group B 5 applies for the correla­tions SdN 4 and S2/N 3 and S3/N 2. The usual types of cranehave been classified in table 23 mto six loading groups inaccordance with the aspects described above. dependingon their stressIng dUring operation throughout theirinlendedlife.

The classification of a crane is governed by the part 01 thecrane subjected 10 the most unfavourable stressing: just asin Ine case of the adoption of self weight factors and nominalload spectrum factors. it is permitted to classify certain indi·vidual structural assemblies or members which are clearlyseparated from one another into different loading groupsas specified in table 23. on condition Ihat the service condi­tions desc-rlbed in table 14 are well known.

In comparison with DIN 120 Part 1, Ihe differentiation inaccordance with notch effects of the individual membersand connections within each loading group has been in­cluded in the present standard for the first lime. By analogywilh the stress lines dealt with in (he specifications forwelded railway bridges. the present standard establishesthe experimentally verified relationship between permis·sible stresses. structural shape. type of connection anddesign of the member concerned and of the connection.Accordingly, a distinction has to be made between eightnotch cases for each loading group, viz. W O. W 1andW 2 fornon-welded components. riveted and bolted connectionsand K 0 to K 4 for welded components and their jomts.Tables 25 to 32 give examples and details for the classifica- ­tion of frequently used structural shapes and connectionsor joints into these notch cases. including symbols for thewelds and test methods in accordance wilh table 24.

As regards the fivenotch cases for welded components made 01 St 37 and3(52 steels. the lests indicated Ihat the bearable stresseswere approximately equal. and these five cases couldtherefore be handled In rne same way. The values of thestress scheme given In table 17 are based on the alternatingstresses with limiflng stresses of equal magnitude butOPPosite sign (7. == -1.0). Between these basic values thereexist constant step ratios depending on the steel grade.lheloading group and the notch case.

AmendmentsThe 'ollowing amendments have been made in comparison with the April 1974 edition:

the corrections mentioned in the DIN·~itreilungen 61. 1982. No.8, pages 496 10 498 have been incorporated.

Clause 2 Standards and documents referred to

The standards and documents to be observed, and' in particular those 10 which reference is made in the text of the presentstandard. have been brought up to date. This applies to the following standards and documents In particular:

DIN 1080 Part 1. Part 2 and Part 4;DIN 1055 Part 4 and Part 5;DIN 8563 Part 3;DIN 15019 Part 1:DASr·Richtlinie 010:DIN 267 Part 3:DIN 2310 Part 1 and Part 3;DIN 6917;DIN 6918:DIN 17100: -.:DIN17111; "DIN 18800 Part ,.

The references to Standards DIN 741. DIN 1050 and DIN 4100 have been dropped. as these standards have been withdrawn.

DIN 18800 Part 1 has been included for the firsllime. because reference is made to subclauses 3.4. 7.3.1.1 and 7.3.1.2 of theaoove-mentioned standard in the text of the present standard. (This replaces the references 10 DIN 4100 in subclause 6.5 ofthe April 1974 edition of DIN 15018 Part 1.)

Subclause 7.2.1 Load cases and permissible stressesThe USt36-1 material for rivets has been altered to USt36 in agreement with DIN 17111.

(The RSt 44·2 material for rivets is no longer included in DIN 17111. For the sake of completeness, it is still specified in thepresent standard.)

Subclause 7.4.4 Permissible stresses

In table 19 reference is made to the reduced shear stresses in welded joints specified in DIN 4132, February 1981 edition. sub­clause 4.4.5.

Subclause 10.3 Examples of classification of commonly used structural shapes Into notch cases

The qualities of flame-cut surfaces have been designated by symbols '11' and '22' in accordance with DIN 2310 Part 1 andPart 3. In respect of components with the code numbers WOl and W 11.

Explanatory notes relating to the November 1984 revised editionThe present standard has been revised following an abridged procedure. as already notified in the DIN-Mitteilungen 61. 1982,"'0.8. pages 496 to 498. and brought in line as faraspossiblewith the most recent state of the relevant standards concerned. InnlS context. certain references and printing errors have been corrected. and certain editorial changes have been made.

Vanous comments and more far-reaching suggestions for amendments have been discussed and taken lnto consideration i'nso far as it was possible to do so within the framework of the abridged procedure.

Those suggestions which could not be incorporated here have been dUly noted and their inclusion has. by common consent,been postponed until such lime as the content of the standard will be under review.

A short summary of the most important amendments to the text is given below.

The Varlauflga Rlchtfinien fUr Berechnung. AusfUhrung und bauliche Durchbi/dung von gleilfesren Schraubenverbindungen(Provisional guidelines for the calculation, design and construction of friction grip boiled connections) have temporarily beensuoerseded by DASr-Richllinie 010 Anwendung hochfesrerSchrauben imStahlbau. because in the current edition of DIN 18800Part 1 specifications are included relating to loadbearing members subjected to loadings whIch are not predomlflantly static.such specifications being of vital importance to crane structures.

The normal load case consisting of main loads and additional toads as described in table 7. column 4. has been specified to con­'orm to anticipated international specifications. Accordingly, it must be assumed that the crane IS travelling in steady statecondition. and that skewing forces and possibly also wind torces are acting. Consequently. the tifted load shall also be multi·plied by the self weighl faclor '/J.

On the basis of recent tests which are not yet completely concluded. it would appear advisable to reduce the values of permis·sible shear stress in the verification of service strength retative to fillet welds. As a result, an appropriate reference has beenmade in table 19 to take into consideration in a suitable fashion the reduced shear stresses specified in DIN 4132.
