AI Thread Summary
To calculate the size of a gusset for a gantry crane designed to lift 1000kg (10,000N), consider the balance between the gusset's shape and load distribution. The gusset's dimensions should effectively support the structure while minimizing excess weight. Key factors include the loading conditions and the geometry of the triangle formed by the gusset. The discussion emphasizes the importance of proper design to ensure safety and functionality in lifting applications. Further inquiries should be directed through personal messages for more detailed guidance.

What is the structure used for? What will be the loading of the center beam?
 
hi berkeman
my structure is a gantry crane
my load is 1000kg =10000N
thanks
 
The size of a gusset is a balance between a less effective trapezoid and a heavier triangle.
 
hi

You are building a gantry crane to lift and move 1000kg loads, and you are asking for design advice on an Internet forum?

This thread is closed. You can sent me a personal message with details of your Mechanical Engineering education and experience, and I will consider re-opening the thread.
