What are the Static and Dynamic Effects of Bridge Cranes?

Dear students,

To understand this question deeply first we have to understand what exactly is the bridge cranes.

Bridge crane is nothing but the overhead crane with consists of parallel runways with a travelling bridge spanning the gap.

Use of bridge crane: 

• lift and move heavy loads from one place to another which increases space safety and efficiency.
• It also used in the refinement of Steel, Copper and Aluminium.

Static effects:

• considered while designing.

Dynamic effects:

• Generally neglected because of their operation at low speed.
• Dynamic behaviour of a megastructure as a movable flexible structure is different than of a smaller crane.
• Vibration is a serious problem.
• Extra fatigue damage can occur.
