Overcoming a Straddle Carrier Steering Pin Crack: An SDC Verifier Case Study

Abstract: This case study details how SDC for Femap software aided in resolving a critical crack issue in a straddle carrier’s steering pin. The original design is analyzed, followed by a reinforced design, to assess the effectiveness of the improvements in stress reduction and extended lifespan. The Challenge The client requested a comprehensive analysis to […]

  SDC Verifier  Ship to shore Crane Transportation
Cranes and Heavy Machinery

Calculations for ship-to-shore crane marine transportation

A Nelcon 52510 ship-to-shore crane (height 70 m, weight 750 ton) had to be transported from ECT Rotterdam to TIS Terminal (“Pivdennyy” seaport). The crane overcame this distance in 20 days. The client – Kleiss Cranes Consultants – requested us to analyze the optimal conditions for the crane transportation (including Bosfor bridge passing) and docking […]

Static calculation of a cable winch

The design of a drum of a multilayer cable winch depends heavily on the maximum hoop pressure from the cable package. The DNV Rules for Certification of Lifting Appliances prescribes the hoop stress with a c-factor times the hoop pressure for single layer winches. In a 2008 revision, this factor was changed suddenly from 1.75 […]

Extended life time calculation of the Straddle Carrier

The original specification of the straddle carrier accounted for a maximum of 630.000 load cycles which is equivalent to 52.500 operational hours. After moving more than a 1.000.000 containers a remaining fatigue life of the metal structure of the straddle carrier was advised. Because of its high center of gravity and the absence of shock […]

Gantry cranes transportation by a sea-going barge

Static calculation, stability and buckling checks were performed to guarantee a successful transfer under high sea conditions. The structure of STS cranes (Ship To Shore cranes) can withstand high hoisting loads but for the side accelerations due to the barge motions, transport reinforcements are necessary. The relevant barge motions, accelerations, and rotations (are calculated for […]

  SDC Verifier  NETHERLANDS CRANE HOTEL

Crane Hotel steel structure control according to NEN 2018/2019 and ANSI/AISC 360-10

Today, Faralda Crane Hotel is one of the most published buildings in Amsterdam and heritage in the highest rank (RCE Classification). It has been distinguished by the prestigious Pieter van Vollenhoven prize, the Annual award for high-profile and leading redevelop projects. But at the moment of renovation started, the situation was different. When SDC Verifier was […]
