Numerical Investigation on the Buckling Load Capacity of Novel Compound Cross-Sections Used in Crane Construction

Although a crane is exposed to a wide range of loads, there is a growing need for a lighter, more slender design. As a result, double girder cranes are becoming single girder cranes, aiming to make the steel structure as light as possible. The optimization potential of the classic design as a hollow...
