The crane base reactions specified in Table 2.1 should be considered in the calculations. Figure 3.1 shows the typical crane reaction schemes that are acting on the foundat… See more

To reflect the maximum and worst forces caused by the crane reactions, it should be incorporated in the load combinations specified by the code. The crane load cases shal… See more

The crane foundation should be designed and assumed as a free-standing crane. This is to ensure that all the reactions and moments are being taken by the foundation itself. The d… See more
