Abstract
This paper summarises the basis of design and further development of local stresses in crane runway girders. Moreover, three test series on crane runway girders in the laboratory are presented which lately have been conducted at Graz University of Technology. The following girders have been investigated: a hot-rolled section with welded flat rail for light crane service, a welded box section for medium crane service and a welded I-section with A 120 rail for heavy crane service. For all cases, the essential results are summarised and compared to additional finite element calculations and corresponding code regulations. Thus, the reader is able to assess the accuracy of the formulae for local stresses in crane runway girders. The presented latest findings will also be included in the second generation of EN 1993-6, which is under development at the moment.
