Crane Girder Details
Proper detailing is the key to good fatigue performance
The vast majority of crane girder performance issues occur
at the crane girder to column connection.
Column or Bracket Support
+ Do not use framed or clip angle type connections.
+ Extend bearing stiffeners the full height of the girder
+ Weld to the girder top flange with full penetration welds or
welds sized for the wheel loads.
+ Weld to the girder web and bottom flange with properly
sized continuous fillet welds. CmUniversity of Kansas

Crane Girder Design
Crane Column Cap Plates
+ Allow girder end rotation
— avoid thick cap plates
— place the bolts outside of the column flanges.
+ Do not use knee braces
+ Allow for adjustment in placing the crane girder.
