Challenges for local strain measurements in crane runway girders near transverse stiffeners
This paper presents both laboratory tests and finite element (FE) calculations to investigate in detail the local stresses in crane runway girders near transverse stiffeners. Six different girder geometries (i.e. flange thickness 20, 30 and 40 mm; web thickness 10, 15 and 20 mm; thickness of transverse stiffeners 10, 1...
