Armadura para columnas estructurales para un puente-grúa de 20 toneladas

Abstract

A structural design of columns is made for a bridge crane with a nominal capacity of 20 tons. The design must follow the dimensions of the place to be implemented. Initially, a mechanical design is proposed based on the Warren type armor, which is built by replicating on each of the faces of the columns the characteristic pattern of Warren armor. From this design, a flat
reinforcement was extracted to be studied, by means of method of sections. Subsequently, the static analysis is performed in three dimensions, using the method of sections and nodes as necessary. For this case, the structure is subjected with a 2:1 ratio on the nominal load. From structural analysis, the elements under tension and under compression were determinated. On this
case, the diagonal elements experienced tension, whereas the vertical and horizontal elements were subjected to compression. Also, the metallic armor is shown to be hyperstatic or statically indeterminate.
