Introduction

This European Standard has been prepared to be a harmonized 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 ISO 12100-1.

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard.

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.

1 Scope

This European Standard is to be used together with EN 13001 – 1 and EN 13001 – 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 intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse. Clauses 4 to 8 of this standard are necessary to reduce or eliminate 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 not applicable to cranes which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN and serves as reference base for the European Standards for particular crane types (see Annex I).

NOTE EN 13001-3-1 deals only with limit state method in accordance with EN 13001-1.

4.3 Bolted connections

4.3.1 Bolt materials

For bolted connections bolts of the property classes (bolt grades) 4.6, 5.6, 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 in accordance with prEN ISO 898-1 shall be used. Table 5 shows nominal values of the strengths:

Table 5 — Property classes (bolt grades)

Property class (Bolt grade)

4.6 5.6 8.8 10.9 12.9

ybf (N/mm2) 240 300 640 900 1 080

ubf (N/mm2) 400 500 800 1 000 1 200

NOTE The designer should ask the bolt supplier to demonstrate compliance with the requirements regarding the protection against hydrogen brittleness, for the property classes (bolt grades) 10.9 and 12.9. Technical requirements can be found in EN ISO 15330, EN ISO 4042 and ISO 9587.

4.3.2 General

For the purpose of this standard bolted connections are connections between members and/or components utilizing bolts.

In general bolted connections are tensioned wrench tight.

Where slippage (e.g. caused by vibrations or fluctuations in loading) causes deleterious changes in geometry bolts shall be tightened to avoid slippage sufficiently or the joint surfaces shall be secured against rotation (e. g. by using multiple bolts);

Page 15: prEN-13001-3-1-2010.pdf

prEN 13001-3-1:2010 (E)

15

4.3.3 Shear and bearing connections

For the purpose of this standard shear and bearing connections are those connections where the loads act perpendicular to the bolt axis and cause shear and bearing stresses in the bolts and bearing stresses in the connected parts, and where

clearance between bolt and hole shall conform to ISO 286-2 tolerances h13 and H11 or closer, when bolts are exposed to load reversal or where slippage may cause deleterious changes in geometry;

in other cases wider clearances in accordance with EN 20273 may be used;

special surface treatment of the contact surfaces is not needed.

4.3.4 Friction grip type (slip resistant) connections

For the purpose of this standard friction grip connections are those connections where the loads are transmitted by friction between the joint surfaces, and where

high strength bolts of property classes (bolt grades) 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 shall be used;

bolts shall be tightened by a controlled method to a specified preloading state;

the surface condition of the contact surfaces shall be specified and taken into account accordingly;

in addition to standard holes oversized and slotted holes may be used.

4.3.5 Connections loaded in tension

For the purpose of this standard connections loaded in tension are those connections where

the loads act in the direction of the bolt axis and cause axial stresses in the bolts,

high strength bolts of property classes (bolt grades) 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 are used and tightened by a controlled method to a specified preloading state;

NOTE Bolts in tension that are not preloaded are treated as structural members.

4.4 Pinned connections

For the purpose of this standard pinned connections are connections that do not constrain rotation between connected parts. Only round pins are considered.

The requirements herein apply to pinned connections designed to carry loads, i. e., they do not apply to connections made only as a convenient means of attachment.

Clearance between pin and hole shall be in accordance with ISO 286-2 tolerances h13 and H13 or closer. In case of loads with changing directions closer tolerances shall be applied.

All pins shall be furnished with retaining means to prevent the pins from becoming displaced from the hole.

In order to inhibit local out-of-plane distortion (dishing), consideration shall be given to the stiffness of the connected parts.

4.5 Welded connections

For the purposes of this standard welded connections are joints between members and/or components which utilize fusion welding processes, and where connected parts are 3 mm or larger in thickness.

Page 16: prEN-13001-3-1-2010.pdf

prEN 13001-3-1:2010 (E)

16

Quality levels of EN ISO 5817 shall be applied , and appropriate methods of non-destructive testing shall be used to verify compliance with quality level requirements.

In general, load carrying welds shall be at least of quality level C.. Quality level D may be applied only in joints where local failure of the weld will not result in failure of the structure or falling of loads.

Terms for welded joints are as given in EN ISO 17659.

Although the distribution of stresses along the length of the weld may be non-uniform, such distributions can, in general, be considered uniform.

Residual stresses and stresses not participating in the transfer of forces need not to be considered in the design of weld subjected to static actions. This applies specifically to the normal stress parallel to the axis of the weld which is accommodated by the base material.

4.6 Proof of competence for structural members and connections

The object of the proof of competence is to demonstrate that the design stresses or forces dS do not exceed

the design resistances dR :

dd RS ≤ (1)

The design stresses or forces dS shall be determined by applying the relevant loads, load combinations and partial safety factors in accordance with EN 13001-2.

In the following clauses, the design resistances dR are represented as limit stresses df or limit forces dF .

The following proofs for structural members and connections shall be demonstrated:

proof of static strength in accordance with clause 5;

proof of fatigue strength according to 6,

proof of strength of hollow section girder joints in accordance with clause 7;

proof of elastic stability in accordance with clause 8.

5 Proof of static strength

5.1 General

A proof of static strength by calculation is intended to prevent excessive deformations due to yielding of the material, sliding of friction-grip connections, elastic instability (see 8) and fracture of structural members or connections. Dynamic factors given in EN 13001-2 are used to produce equivalent static loads to simulate dynamic effects.

The use of the theory of plasticity for calculation of ultimate load bearing capacity is not considered acceptable within the terms of this standard.

The proof shall be carried out for structural members and connections whilst taking into account the most unfavourable load effects from the load combinations A, B or C in accordance with EN 13001-2 and applying the resistances according to 5.2.

Page 17: prEN-13001-3-1-2010.pdf

prEN 13001-3-1:2010 (E)

17

This standard is based on nominal stresses, i. e. stresses calculated using traditional elastic strength of materials theory. When alternative methods of stress calculation are used, such as finite element analysis, using those stresses for the proof given in this standard may yield inordinately conservative results.

6 Proof of fatigue strength

6.1 General

A proof of fatigue strength is intended to prevent risk of failure due to formation and propagation of critical cracks in structural members or connections under cyclic loading. Where the design stress always is purely compressive in a uniaxial stress state, and hence crack propagation cannot occur, a proof of fatigue strength is not required.

In general, the proof shall be executed by applying the load combinations A in accordance with EN 13001-2, multiplied by the dynamic factors iφ , setting all partial safety factors γp = 1, and applying the resistances (i. e. limit design stresses) according to 6.2. In some applications a load from load combinations B (occasional loads) can occur frequently enough to require inclusion in the fatigue assessment. The stresses from these occasional loads shall be handled in the same way as those from the regular loads.

The stresses are calculated in accordance with the nominal stress concept. This document deals only with the nominal stress method. A nominal stress is a stress in the base material adjacent to a potential crack location, calculated in accordance with simple elastic strength of materials theory, excluding local stress concentration effects. The constructional details in Annex D and Annex H contain the influences illustrated in the figures and thus the characteristic fatigue strength values include the effects of:

local stress concentrations due to the shape of the joint and the weld geometry;

size and shape of acceptable discontinuities;

the stress direction;

residual stresses;

metallurgical conditions;

in some cases, the welding process and post-weld improvement procedures.

The effect of other geometric stress concentrations than those listed above (global stress concentrations) shall be included in the nominal stress by means of relevant stress concentration factors.

NOTE This standard does not use other methods like Hot Spot Stress Method. The bibliography gives information on literature about Hot Spot Stress Method.

For the execution of the proof of fatigue strength the cumulative damages caused by variable stress cycles shall be calculated. In this standard Palmgren-Miner's rule of cumulative damage is reflected by use of the stress history parameters (see Clause 6.3).

Mean-stress influence, as presented in EN 13001-1, in structures in as-welded condition (without stress relieving) can be considered but is negligible. Therefore the stress history parameter s is independent of the mean-stress and the fatigue strength is based on the stress range only.

In non-welded details or stress relieved welded details, the effective stress range to be used in the fatigue

Page 35: prEN-13001-3-1-2010.pdf

prEN 13001-3-1:2010 (E)

35

assessment may be determined by adding the tensile portion of the stress range and 60 % of the compressive portion of the stress range or by special investigation (see 6.5).

The fatigue strength specific resistance factor mfγ (given in Table 9) is used to account for the uncertainty of fatigue strength values and the possible consequences of fatigue damage.

„Fail-safe“ structural components are those with reduced consequences of failure, such that the local failure of one component does not result in failure of the structure or falling of loads.

Non „fail-safe“ structural components are those where local failure of one component leads rapidly to failure of the structure or falling of loads.

6.2 Limit design stresses

6.2.1 Characteristic fatigue strength

The limit design stress of a constructional detail is characterized by the value of cσ∆ , the characteristic fatigue strength. cσ∆ represents the fatigue strength at 62 10× cycles under constant stress range loading and with a probability of survival equal to %7,97s =P (mean value minus two standard deviations obtained by normal distribution and single sided test), see Figure 8.

Page 36: prEN-13001-3-1-2010.pdf

prEN 13001-3-1:2010 (E)

36

Key a) principle b) simplification using one value for m (see EN 13001-1) 1 Constant stress range fatigue limit m is the slope constant of the fatigue strength curve. The curves have slopes of m/1− in the log/log representation.

NOTE This standard is based on the use of stress history parameter s which requires the use of the one slope simplification of the Nloglog −σ∆ curve as shown in Figure 8 b).

Figure 8 — Illustration of ∆∆∆∆σσσσ -N curve and ∆∆∆∆σσσσc

In the first column of Annex E the values of cσ∆ are arranged in a sequence of notch classes (NC) and with the constant ratio of 1,125 between the classes.

For shear stresses cσ∆ is replaced by cτ∆ .

The values of characteristic fatigue strength cσ∆ or cτ∆ and the related slope constants m of the Nloglog −σ∆ -curve are given in Annex D (normative) and Annex H (informative) for:

Table D.1: Basic material of structural members;

Table H.2: Values of slope constant m of the Nloglog −σ∆ -curve and limit design stress range cσ∆ for lattice type connections of hollow section girders.

The given values apply for the defined basic conditions. For deviating conditions an appropriate notch class (NC) shall be selected one or more notch classes above (+ 1 NC, + 2NC, ...) to increase the resistance or below (- 1 NC, - 2 NC, ...) the basic notch class to decrease the resistance according to Annex D. The effects of several deviating conditions shall be added up.

6.2.2 Weld quality

cσ∆ -values in Annex D and Annex H depend on the quality level of the weld. Quality classes B, C, D shall be in accordance with EN ISO 5817. In Annex H class C is assumed. Lower quality than level D shall not be used. For the purpose of this standard an additional quality level B* can be used. The requirements in addition to those of level B given hereafter define quality level B*.

Additional requirements for quality level B*:

For the purpose of this standard 100 % NDT (non destructive testing) means inspection of the whole length of the weld with an appropriate method to ensure that the specified quality requirements are met.

For butt welds:

full penetration without initial (start and stop) points;

both surfaces machined or flush ground down to plate surface; grinding in stress direction;

the weld toe post-treated by grinding, remelting by TIG, plasma welding or by needle peening so that any undercut and slag inclusions are removed;

eccentricity of the joining plates less than 5 % of the greater thickness of the two plates;

sum of lengths of concavities of weld less than 5 % of the total length of the weld;

100 % NDT.

For parallel and lap joints:

transition angle of the weld to the plate surface shall not exceed 25°;

the weld toe post-treated by grinding, remelting by TIG, plasma welding or by needle peening;

100 % NDT.

All other joints:

full penetration;

transition angle of the weld to the web surface shall not exceed 25°;

the weld toe post-treated by grinding, remelting by TIG, plasma welding or by needle peening;

Page 38: prEN-13001-3-1-2010.pdf

prEN 13001-3-1:2010 (E)

38

100 % NDT;

eccentricity less than 10 % of the greater thickness of the two plates.

If TIG dressing is used as a post treatment of the potential crack initialization zone of a welded joint in order to increase the fatigue strength, welds of quality class C for design purposes may be upgraded to quality class B for any joint configuration.

6.2.3 Requirements for fatigue testing

Details not given in Annex D and Annex H or consideration of mean stress influence require special investigation into cσ∆ and m by tests.

Requirements for such tests are:

test specimen in actual size (1:1);

test specimen produced under workshop conditions;

the stress cycles shall be completely in the tensile range;

at least 7 tests per stress range level.

Requirements for determination of m and cσ∆ are:

cσ∆ shall be determined from numbers of cycles based on mean value minus two standard deviations in a log–log presentation;

at least one stress range level that results in a mean number of stress cycles to failure of less than 2x104 cycles shall be used;

at least one stress range level that results in a mean number of stress cycles to failure between 1,5x106 and 2,5x106 cycles shall be used.

A simplified method for the determination of m and cσ∆ may be used:

m shall be set to m = 3;

a stress range level that results in a mean number of stress cycles to failure of less than 1x105 cycles shall be used.

6.3 Stress histories

6.3.1 General

The stress history is a numerical presentation of all stress variations that are significant for fatigue. Using the established rules of metal fatigue the large number of variable magnitude stress cycles are condensed to one or two parameters. Stress histories shall be determined either through stress calculations or measurements, in both cases simulating the specified crane use.

Stress histories shall be represented in terms of maximum stress amplitudes and frequencies of occurrence of stress amplitudes.

Page 39: prEN-13001-3-1-2010.pdf

prEN 13001-3-1:2010 (E)

39

6.3.2 Frequency of occurence of stress cycles

For the proof of fatigue strength, stress histories are expressed as single-parameter representations of frequencies of occurrence of stress ranges by using methods such as the hysteresis counting method (Rainflow or Reservoir method) with the influence of mean stress neglected.

Each of the stress ranges is sufficiently described by its upper and lower extreme value.

bu σσσ∆ −= (30)

where

uσ is the upper extreme value of a stress range;

oσ is the lower extreme value of a stress range;

σ∆ is the stress range.

6.3.3 Stress history parameter

Stress history parameter s is calculated as follows, based on a one-parameter presentation of stress histories during the design life of the crane:

mm ks ×= ν (31)

where

t

iim ˆ N

nkm

ν is the relative total number of occurrences of stress ranges;

mk is the stress spectrum factor dependant on m;

iσ∆ is the stress range;

σ∆ ˆ the maximum stress range;

in is the number of occurrences of stress range i ;

∑=i

nN it is the total number of occurrences of stress ranges during the design life of the crane;

6ref 102 ×=N is the reference number of cycles;

m is the slope constant of the Nloglog −σ∆ -curve of the component under consideration.

Stress history parameter sm has a specific value for each structural detail. The value is related to crane duty and decisively depends on:

Page 40: prEN-13001-3-1-2010.pdf

prEN 13001-3-1:2010 (E)

40

the number of working cycles;

the net load spectrum;

crane configuration;

the effect of the crane motions on stress variations (traverse, slewing, luffing etc).

For thermally stress relieved or non-welded structural members the compressive portion of the stress range may be reduced to 60 %.

Stress histories characterized by the same value of sm may be assumed to be equivalent in respect to the damage in similar materials, details or components.

Proof of competence for fatigue may be omitted for structural members in cases, where the value of the stress history parameter is lower than 0,001 and the yield stress is 500 N/mm2 or lower.

NOTE An example for the determination of stress histories by simulation is given in an Annex F.

6.3.4 Stress history classes S

Members of crane structures may be arranged into classes S of the stress history parameter sm. The classification is based upon m = 3 and is specified in the Table 10 and illustrated in the Figure 9.

Where a class S is referred to in the proof of fatigue strength of a member, the value of stress history parameter s3 shall be taken in accordance with the Table 11.

Where a single stress history class S is used for the calculation of the whole structure, the most severe class occurring within the structure shall be used.

Table 10 — Classes S of stress history parameter s3

42

Shear stresses τ are treated similarly.

For each stress component xσ , yσ and τ the proof shall be executed separately (where x,y indicate the orthogonal directions of stresses), In case of non welded details, if the normal and shear stresses induced by the same loading event vary simultaneously, or if the plane of the maximum principal stress does not change significantly in the course of a loading event, only the maximum principal stress range may be used.

6.5 Determination of the limit design stress range

This chapter covers global buckling of members under compression and local buckling of plate fields subjected to compressive stresses.

8.3 Buckling of plate fields subjected to compressive and shear stresses

8.3.1 General

Plate fields are unstiffened plates that are supported only along their edges or plate panels between stiffeners.

It is assumed that:

geometric imperfections of the plate are less than the maximum values shown in Table 14,

stiffeners are designed with sufficient stiffness and strength to allow the required buckling resistance of the plate to be developed (i.e. buckling strength of stiffeners is greater than that of the plate field),

the plate field is supported along its edges as shown in Table 15.

there is no instability resulting from the interaction between the local buckling of the plate field and the global buckling of the member containing it, such case is not covered by this standard.

Annex F (informative)

Evaluation of stress cycles (example)

The stress histories at a selected point of the structure depend on the loads, their direction and position during the use of the crane, as well as on the crane configuration.

The total number of working cycles of a crane during its useful life can be divided into several typical tasks with the numbers of working cycles corresponding to them.

A task can be characterized by a specific combinations of crane configuration and sequence of intended movements.

Before the sequence of stress peaks occurring during the performance of any task can be evaluated, the corresponding series of loadings has to be determined first, i.e. the magnitude, position and direction of all loads.

Key A System B Influence lines for bending at selected point j C Influence lines for shear at selected point j D Sequences of movements

E Extreme values of bending Mj and shear Qj (φ 2= 1) during sequences of movements

Figure F.1 — Example of load and moment variations due to load movements for tasks on a ship unloader

The unloader handles bulk material from ship to hopper or stockpile, the ranges of points to be served are given by the arrangement of the ship (points 12, 1 and 11), hopper (point 2) and stockpile (points 31 and 32).

Page 85: prEN-13001-3-1-2010.pdf

prEN 13001-3-1:2010 (E)

Figure F.1 shows the different sequences of movements of an unloader for two tasks considered, moving load from ship (point 11) to hopper (point 2) and moving load from stockpile (point 31) to hopper (point 2).

In the encoded description of each task, the point labels are:

linked by the sign “+” for working movements (with load) and “-“ for dead movements (without load);

underlined when the grab (load lifting attachment) is grounded.

The influence lines (representing the influences of loading and its position) for bending moment Mj and shear force Qj at the selected point j are shown for different loads (T for trolley, P for payload, A for lifting attachment, i.e. grab).

The description of salient points of the bending moment and shear load variations can be found in Table F.1.

Table F.1 – Description of salient points in bending moment and shear load variations

Point Trolley position Grab position Acting loads

a 11 Grounded T

b 11 Lifted T,A,P

c 2 Lifted T,A,P and T,A when load dropped

d 11 Lifted T,A

e 11 Grounded T

f 31 Grounded T

g 31 Lifted T,A,P

h 2 Lifted T,A,P and T,A when load dropped

i 31 Lifted T,A

j 31 Grounded T

The sequences of stresses arising from the bending moment Mj ( )(tσ = global bending stress) and the shear force Qj ( )(tτ = global shear stress) can be determined directly from the influence lines.

Stress cycles can be identified from the resulting sequences of stress peaks using one of the established stress cycle counting methods, such as the Rainflow counting method or the Reservoir method.

The complete stress history is obtained by summating the individual stress histories taken from the sequences of movements of all different tasks.

Annex G (informative)

Calculation of stiffnesses for connections loaded in tension

The determination of stiffnesses of elements for the calculation of bolt joints in tension presented in this annex applies in the ideal cases shown in Figure G.1 assuming no more than 5 contact surfaces in practical joints. Adjacent bolts and/or the way of introduction of external forces into the system have great influence on the additional bolt force and should be considered in actual design.

Figure G.1 — Types of connections loaded in tension

The stiffnesses for connections in tension can be calculated as follows:

The stiffness of the connected parts is calculated from

eqK

c AlEK ×= (G.1)

where

cK is the stiffness (slope) of flanges

E is the modulus of elasticity

Kl is the effective clamped length (including all clamped components)

According to the shape of the connected parts, the external load is introduced to the bolt near its end (Figure G.2, case a), between the bolt end and the connection plane (case b) or close to the connection plane (case c). This may be considered in calculation of the stiffness ratio factor as follows:

cb

bL KK

K+

×= αΦ (G.6)

where

Φ is the stiffness ratio factor

Kb is the stiffness of bolt

Kc is the stiffness of connected parts

αL is the load introduction factor, see Figure G.2.

a) αL = 0,9 ...1 b) αL = 0,6 c) αL = 0,3

Figure G.2 — Values for the load introduction factor ααααL as a function of the connection shape

Case a) is typical for bolted connections in cranes. More precise values can be found in the literature. In cases where load introduction cannot be reliably specified, a conservative assumption αL = 1 should be used. In cases where the stiffness ratio factor Φ is determined by finite element analysis of the complete joint, the load introduction factor αL will become an in-built part of the analysis and the value αL = 1 shall be used with the Equation G.6.
