Abstract


Damages in the shape of cracks frequently appear in the welded rail girders that serve as heavy service travelling cranes. Experience in the use of metal rails shows that the design methods included in many officially valid norms do not reflect the true behaviour of a solid web rail girder. The article provides a brief description of the particular behaviour of these metal beams, comments upon some of the analytic design methods of the so called local stresses and gives practical recommendations that will be useful both for the design of this type of members as well as for their maintenance.
