Cranes - General design - Part 3-1: Limit states and proof of competence of steel structures
This European Standard is to be used together with Part 1 and Part 2 and as such they specify general conditions, requirements and methods to prevent mechanical hazards of cranes by design and theoretical verification.
NOTE Specific requirements for particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for the particular crane type.
The following is a list of significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to persons during normal use and foreseeable misuse. Clauses 4 to 8 of this standard are necessary to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with the following hazards:
a) Exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue);
b) Exceeding temperature limits of material or components;
c) Elastic instability of the crane or its parts (buckling, bulging).
This European Standard is applicable to cranes which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this standard and serves as reference base for the European Standards for particular crane types.
NOTE prCEN/TS 13001-3-1 deals only with limit state method according to prEN 13001-1.
As an alternative to the herein presented limit state method using partial safety factors, the allowable stress method using a global safety factor according to prEN 13001-1 and prEN 13001-2 may also be applied for special crane systems with linear behaviour.
As crane structures are basically dynamically loaded only the linear theory of elasticity is applicable and only limited local plasticity is allowed. The use of the theory of plasticity for calculation of ultimate load bearing capacity is not allowed.

b) Überschreiten der Temperaturgrenzwerte des Werkstoffs oder der Komponenten;
c) Elastische Instabilität des Krans oder seiner Teile (Knicken, Beulen).
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Krane, die nach dem Datum der Genehmigung dieser Norm durch CEN
gefertigt werden, und dient als Referenzgrundlage für Europäische Normen für spezielle Krantypen.
ANMERKUNG 2 prCEN/TS 13001-3.1 beinhaltet nur die Methode der Grenzzustände entsprechend EN 13001-1.
Alternativ zu der hierin genannten Methode der Grenzzustände unter Verwendung von
Teilsicherheitsbeiwerten, kann der zulässige Spannungsnachweis unter Verwendung des
Gesamtsicherheitsbeiwertes nach EN 13001-1 und EN 13001-2 auch für spezielle Krananlagen mit linearem
Verhalten angewendet werden.
Da Krankonstruktionen grundsätzlich dynamisch belastet werden, ist nur die lineare Elastizitätstheorie
anwendbar und nur die begrenzte örtliche Plastizität zulässig. Die Anwendung der Plastizitätstheorie zur
Berechnung der Grenztragfähigkeit ist nicht zulässig.
Appareils de levage à charge suspendue - Conception générale - Partie 3-1: Etats limites et vérification d'aptitude des structures en acier

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 13000-3.1:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 147 “Cranes —
Safety”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European
Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 98/37/EC, amended by 98/79/EC.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latavia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
This European Standard is one Part of EN 13001. The other parts are as follows:
Part 1: General principles and requirements
Part 2: Load actions
The annexes A, C and D are normative. The annexes B, E and F are informative.
Introduction
This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means for the mechanical
design and theoretical verification of cranes to conform with the essential health and safety requirements of the
Machinery Directive, as amended. This standard also establishes interfaces between the user (purchaser) and the
designer, as well as between the designer and the component manufacturer, in order to form a basis for selecting
cranes and components.
This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.
1 Scope
This European Standard is to be used together with Part 1 and Part 2 and as such they specify general conditions,
requirements and methods to prevent mechanical hazards of cranes by design and theoretical verification.
NOTE Specific requirements for particular types of crane are given in the appropriate European Standard for the particular
crane type.
The following is a list of significant hazardous situations and hazardous events that could result in risks to persons
during normal use and foreseeable misuse. Clauses 4 to 8 of this standard are necessary to reduce or eliminate
the risks associated with the following hazards:
a) Exceeding the limits of strength (yield, ultimate, fatigue);
b) Exceeding temperature limits of material or components;
c) Elastic instability of the crane or its parts (buckling, bulging).
This European Standard is applicable to cranes which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this
standard and serves as reference base for the European Standards for particular crane types.
NOTE prCEN/TS 13001-3-1 deals only with limit state method according to EN 13001-1.
As an alternative to the herein presented limit state method using partial safety factors, the allowable stress method
using a global safety factor according to Part 1 and Part 2 may also be applied for special crane systems with linear
behaviour.
As crane structures are basically dynamically loaded only the linear theory of elasticity is applicable and only limited
local plasticity is allowed. The use of the theory of plasticity for calculation of ultimate load bearing capacity is not
allowed.

4.1 Materials
4.1.1 Structural members
European Standards specify materials and specific values. This standard gives a preferred selection.
For structural members, steel according to following European Standards should be used:
¾ Non-alloy structural steels EN 10025.
¾ Weldable fine grain structural steels in conditions:
¾ normalised (N) EN 10113-2;
¾ thermomechanical (M) EN 10113-3.
¾ High yield strength structural steels in the quenched and tempered condition EN 10137-2.
¾ High yield strength steels for cold forming in conditions:
¾ thermomechanical (M) EN 10149-2;
¾ normalised (N) EN 10149-3.
Table 2 shows specific values for the nominal value of strength f , f and limit design stress f (see 5.2). For more
u y Rd
information see the specific European Standard.
Grades and qualities other than those mentioned in the above standards and in Table 2 can be used if the
mechanical properties and the chemical composition are guaranteed by the manufacturer and conform to the
relevant European Standard. If necessary, the weldability shall be demonstrated by the steel manufacturer.
When selecting grade and quality of the steel for tensile members, the sum of impact toughness parameters q shall
i
be taken into account. Table 3 gives the impact toughness parameters q for various influences. Table 4 gives the
i
required steel quality and impact energy/test temperature in dependence of Sq. Grades and qualities of steel other
i
than mentioned in Table 4 may be used, if the steel manufacturer guarantees and certifies an impact energy/test
temperature, tested according to EN 10045-1.

4.2 Bolt connections
4.2.1 General

¾ bolts are tightened and thus compress the joint surfaces together;
¾ the joint surfaces are secured against rotation (e. g. by using multiple bolts).
4.2.2 Shear and bearing connections
Connections with fitted bolts, where
¾ the loads act perpendicular to the bolt axis and cause shear and bearing stresses in the bolts;
¾ clearance between bolt and hole shall be according to ISO 286-2 tolerances h13 and H11;

¾ special surface treatment of the contact surfaces is not required.
4.2.3 Slip resistant connections
Connections with high strength bolts of property classes 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9, where
¾ the loads are transmitted by friction between the joint surfaces;
¾ bolts are tightened by a controlled method to the full preloading state;
¾ the surface condition of the contact surfaces shall be specified and taken into account accordingly.
4.2.4 Connections loaded in tension
Connections with high strength bolts of property classes 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9, where
¾ the loads act in the direction of the bolt axis and cause axial stresses in the bolts;
¾ bolts are tightened by a controlled method to the full preloading state;
¾ fatigue assessment of the bolts shall be done considering the structural features of the joint, e. g. stiffness of
the connected parts and the leverage action caused by the joint geometry;
¾ an even contact over the whole intended contact area of the joint shall be ensured.
4.3 Pin connections
