Reliability Calculation of Foundation Design for Large General Purpose Gantry Cranes under Special Working Conditions
A Yangtze River bridge construction project set up a water construction platform for the arrangement of a 180 t general-purpose gantry crane,which is mainly used for lifting steel boxes.The foundation of this crane is special,which is a construction platform with all steel pipe column structure and located above the Yangtze River.In order to ensure the safety of the crane,the foundation design is calculated,and the strength of the overall structure is calculated through finite element modelling,and then the stability check is carried out on the steel pipe at the place of maximum stress to verify the safety of the crane foundation.
