    Beam Crane Tower
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the maximum force and tension for a tower crane's tie beam and anchor design, with the user seeking guidance on these safety calculations. Concerns are raised about the appropriateness of seeking online advice for such critical engineering tasks, especially given the implications for safety. The user clarifies that the inquiry stems from an internal disagreement among engineers regarding whether to manufacture a crane collar or purchase one, which could lead to delays. There is a warning about the risks of relying on internet advice for significant engineering decisions. The thread concludes with a note that the discussion is closed due to safety concerns.

Hello everyone

can you please take a look in the tie beam and anchor design from the link above as i could not upload the picture directly.

i want to calculate the maximum force that this anchor can resist before failure !
also i wan to calculate the maximum tension that this beam can resist before failure!
here i have 3 beams so should i add all tension to get the total tension force !

anchor and tie beams of tower cranes use to give stability to the tower crane.
the anchor will be surrounding the tower crane mast and bolted from each side .

if anyone have a good knowledge about tower cranes please message me as i need to ask further questions

Thanks

Four of your figures are not visible; please fix this.

This sounds like an ME problem, not a materials problem. Are you sure you have it in the right place?

Welcome to the PF.

What is the context of your question? If it is for schoolwork, you need to re-post this in the Homework Help, Engineering forum and fill out the Template you are provided there to show your work on the calculations so far.

If this is a question for your work, why have you been tasked with doing these safety calculations if you do not have the skills or background to do them? Trying to get advice off the Internet for doing such safety calculations sounds pretty risky, no?
 
Hi,,

at the first this task is not my task in the work, but the engineers here had an argument about this issue
the issue was either to manufacture a tower crane collar or buying a ready mad one which is not available immediately and it possible to take 1 month to reach.
i understood all the problem and i was curios about how possible to manufacture a one here so i started so search about it .
if anyone have a knowledge please share.
BTW it is not going to be manufactured anymore:wink:

That sounds good. It is worrisome that the engineers in charge of the design were not able to reach an agreement on the design specs.

Getting advice from the Internet about such a big project which has life safety implications is generally not such a good idea. Thread is closed.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
