4 Safety requirements and/or measures 4.1 General Machinery shall conform to the safety requirements and/or measures of this clause. In addition, the machine shall be designed according to the principles of EN ISO 12100-1:2003 and EN ISO 12100-2:2003 for hazards relevant but not significant which are not dealt with by this document (e. g. sharp edges).
4.2 Loads 4.2.1 General 4.2.1.1 Introduction The loads acting on a crane are divided into the categories of regular, occasional and exceptional as given in 4.2.1.2, 4.2.1.3 and 4.2.1.4. For the proof calculation of means of access loads only acting locally are given in ˜4.2.5™. These loads shall be considered in proof against failure by uncontrolled movement, yielding, elastic instability and, where applicable, against fatigue. 4.2.1.2 Regular loads
a) hoisting and gravity effects acting on the mass of the crane; b) inertial and gravity effects acting vertically on the hoist load; c) loads caused by travelling on uneven surface; d) loads caused by acceleration of all crane drives; SIST EN 13001-2:2005+A3:2009

a) loads due to in-service wind; b) snow and ice loads; c) loads due to temperature variation; d) loads caused by skewing. NOTE Occasional loads occur infrequently. They are usually neglected in fatigue assessment. 4.2.1.4 Exceptional loads
a) loads caused by hoisting a grounded load under exceptional circumstances; b) loads due to out-of-service wind; c) test loads; d) loads due to buffer forces; e) loads due to tilting forces; f) loads caused by emergency cut-out; g) loads caused by failure of mechanism or components; h) loads due to external excitation of crane foundation; i) loads caused by erection and dismantling. NOTE Exceptional loads are also infrequent and are likewise usually excluded from fatigue assessment. 4.2.2 Regular loads 4.2.2.1 !!!!Hoisting and gravity effects acting on the mass of the crane When lifting the load off the ground or when releasing the load or parts of the load vibrational excitation of the crane structure shall be taken into account. The gravitational force induced by the mass of the crane or crane parts shall be multiplied by the factor φ1. The masses of cranes or crane parts in class MDC1 (see 4.3.3) shall be multiplied by 1,00,11≤≤δ+=δφ (1) The value of δ depends on the crane structure and shall be specified. The divisions of masses of crane parts in class MDC2 (see 4.3.3) shall be multiplied by 05,00,11≤≤δ±=δφ (2) depending on whether their gravitational acting is partly increasing (+δ) or decreasing (-δ) the resulting load effects in the critical points selected for the proof calculation. SIST EN 13001-2:2005+A3:2009

shall be taken into account by multiplying the gravitational force due to the mass of the hoist load by a factor φ2 (see Figure 1). The mass of the hoist load includes the masses of the payload, lifting attachments and a portion of the suspended hoist ropes or chains etc.
Figure 1 — Factor φφφφ2 The factor φ2 shall be taken as follows: hv2min,22+φ=φ (3) φ2,min and β2 are given in Table 2 for the appropriate hoisting class. For the purposes of this standard, cranes are assigned to hoisting classes ranging from HC1 to HC4 according to their dynamic and elastic characteristics. HC1 requires a flexible structure and a drive system with smooth dynamic characteristics, whereas a rigid structure and a drive system with sudden speed changes imply HC4. The selection of hoisting classes depends on the particular type of cranes and is dealt with in the European Standards for specific crane types, see annex B. Equally, values of φ2 can be determined by experiments or analysis without reference to hoisting class. vh is the steady hoisting speed, in meters per second, related to the lifting attachment. Values of vh are given in Table 3. Table 2 — Values of ββββ2 and φφφφ2,min

%Where HD 1: Creep speed is not available, or the start of the lift without creep speed is possible HD 2: Start of the lift is only possible at creep speed
HD 3: Hoist drive control maintains a steady creep speed until the load is lifted off the ground HD 4: Start of the lift is performed with continuously increasing speed
HD 5: Hoist drive control is automatic and ensures that the speed influence on the dynamic force is negligible& vh,max is the maximum steady hoisting speed; vh,CS is the steady hoisting creep speed. 4.2.2.2.2 Sudden release of a part of the hoist load For cranes that release a part of the hoist load as a normal working procedure, the peak dynamic action on the crane can be taken into account by multiplying the hoist load by the factor φ3 (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 — Factor φφφφ3 The factor φ3 shall be taken as follows: ()3311mmHH+∆−=φ (4) where: ∆mH
is the released part of the hoist load; SIST EN 13001-2:2005+A3:2009

is the mass of the hoist load; β3 = 0,5
for cranes equipped with grabs or similar slow-release devices; β3 = 1,0
for cranes equipped with magnets or similar rapid-release devices. 4.2.2.3 Loads caused by travelling on uneven surface The dynamic actions on the crane by travelling, with or without load, on or off roadways or on rail tracks shall be estimated, by experiment or by calculation using an appropriate model for the crane or the trolley and the travel surface or the track, and shall be specified. When calculating the dynamic actions on the crane by travelling, the induced accelerations shall be taken into account by multiplying the gravitational forces due to the masses of the crane and hoist load by a factor φ4. European Standards for specific crane types specify tolerances for rail tracks and ground conditions and give conventional values for φ4. Where there is no specific factor φ4, it may be estimated by using a simple single mass - spring - model for the crane as shown in Figure 3.

If more than one natural mode contributes a significant response and/or rotation occurs, the designer should estimate the dynamic loads using an appropriate model for the circumstances. 4.2.2.4 Loads caused by acceleration of drives Loads induced in a crane by acceleration or decelerations caused by drive forces may be calculated using rigid body kinetic models. For this purpose, the gross load is taken to be fixed at the top of the jib or immediately below the crab. The load effect Sˆ shall be applied to the components exposed to the drive forces and where applicable to the crane and the gross load as well. As a rigid body analysis does not directly reflect elastic effects, the load effect Sˆ shall be calculated by using a factor φ5 as follows (see Figure 6): SSSi∆+=5ˆφ (7) where: ∆S=Sf -Si is the change of the load effect due to the change of the drive force ∆F = Ff - Fi; Si, Sf are the initial (i) and final (f) load effects caused by Fi and Ff; Fi, Ff are the initial (i) and final (f) drive forces. SIST EN 13001-2:2005+A3:2009

c is the aerodynamic coefficient of the member under consideration; it shall be used in combination with the characteristic area A; values of c shall be as given in annex A; A is the characteristic area of the member under consideration (see annex A); where: q(3) = 0,5 × ρ × v(3)2 is the wind pressure at v(3); ρ
=
1,25 kg/m3 is the density of the air; εS = 0,7 is the conventional start force factor; εM = 0,37 is the conventional mean drive force factor; v(3) = 1,5 × v is the gust wind velocity averaged over a period of 3 seconds; v is the mean wind velocity, which is related to the Beaufort scale, averaged over 10 min in 10 m height above flat ground or sealevel. For the calculation of loads due to in-service wind it is assumed that the wind blows horizontally at a constant mean velocity v at all heights.
Considering a crane member, the component v* of the wind velocity acting perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the crane member shall be applied; it is calculated by v* = v × sin αw, where αw is the angle between the direction of the wind velocity v and the longitudinal axis of the member under consideration.
The wind load assumed to act on the gross load in direction of the wind velocity is determined by analogy to the wind loads assumed to act on a crane member, whereas a substitution of v by v* shall not be applied. The factors in the given equations for F (see above) are as follows: F is the wind load acting on the gross load in direction of the wind velocity; c is the aerodynamic coefficient of the gross load in direction of the wind velocity; Ag is the projection of the gross load on a plane normal to the direction of the wind velocity, in square metres. In absence of detailed information of the load it should be assumed c = 2,4 and Ag = 0,0005 × mH , where mH is the mass of the gross load in kilograms. Ag shall not be less than 0,8 m2. Depending upon the type of crane, its configuration, operation and service conditions and the agreed/specified number of out-of-service-days per year, a mean wind velocity v shall be specified. Table 4 gives values of the mean velocity v for standardized wind states. SIST EN 13001-2:2005+A3:2009

The design is based on the following requirement for the operation of the crane: If the wind velocity, measured at the highest point of the crane, increases and tends to reach v(3), the crane shall be secured or its configuration shall be transformed into a safe configuration. As the methods and/or means for this securing are different and need different time (locking devices at special locations of the crane runway, hand-operated or automatic rail clamps) a lower level of mean wind velocity shall be chosen to start the securing. NOTE Any slender structural member, when placed in a windstream with its longitudinal axis perpendicular to this stream, may become aeroelastically unstable. Means to prevent these effects (e. g. galloping or formation of eddies) by design should be considered both for in-service and out-of-service wind conditions. 4.2.3.2 Snow and ice loads Where relevant, snow and ice loads shall be specified and taken into account.

guide means Figure 10 — Loads acting on crane in skewed position A guide force Fy is in balance with the wheel forces Fx1i, Fy1i, Fx2i, Fy2i, which are caused by rotation of the crane about the instantaneous slide pole. With the maximum lateral slip sy = α at the guide means and a linear distribution of the lateral slip syi between guide means and instantaneous slide pole, the corresponding skewing forces may be calculated as follows: The guide force Fy may be calculated by ˜gmfFy⋅⋅⋅=ν™ (11) where: m×g is the gravitational force due to the mass of the loaded crane; f = 0,3 ()[]α-250e-l is the friction coefficient of the rolling wheel; where: α is the skewing angle (see Figure 10), in radians; SIST EN 13001-2:2005+A3:2009

For this case the estimation of the dynamic factor φ2 is shown in Table 3. 4.2.4.2 Loads due to out-of-service wind The out-of-service wind loads assumed to act on a member of a crane or on the hoist load remaining suspended from the crane are calculated by AczqF××=)( (13) SIST EN 13001-2:2005+A3:2009

Considering a crane member, the component v(z)* of the wind velocity acting perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the crane member shall be applied; it is calculated by v(z)* = v(z) × sin αw, where αw is the angle between the direction of the wind velocity v(z) and the longitudinal axis of the member under consideration. Considering the hoist load remaining suspended from the crane the substitution of v(z) by v(z)* shall not be applied.

It is defined as the mean storm wind velocity with a recurrence interval of once in 50 years, measured at 10 m above flat open country, averaged over a period of 10 minutes. vm(z)/vref = (z/10)0,14 is a simplified roughness coefficient; φ8 = 1,1 is the gust response factor; vg = vref × 2 × K×6 is a 3 seconds gust amplitude beyond the 10 minutes mean storm wind; K = 0,0055 is the drag-coefficient of the terrain. In Figure 12 a storm wind map of Europe is given, roughly indicating the regions where the same reference storm wind velocities are applicable. The reference storm wind velocities for these regions are given in Table 6. More detailed (national) wind maps or local meteorological data can be used as sources for the reference storm wind velocities vref (e. g. ENV 1991-2-4).
