Singly Symmetric Combination Section Crane Girder Design Aids by Patrick C. Johnson The Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 and Jeffrey A. Laman, Ph.D., P.E. Associate Professor of Civil Engineering The Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA 16802 Abstract Crane runway girders are distinguished by long unbraced lengths and biaxial bending. Combination sections consisting of a W shape with a channel cap are typically efficient for these conditions, but time consuming to design due to the iterative process required due to biaxial bending and the complex stability equations provided in AISC (2005) specifications . This paper presents developed Zx tables, flexural strength graphs, and introduces a trial section selection method. Included herein are updated design charts to allow for fast and efficient analysis of the typical combination sections provided in Table 1-19 of the AISC Steel Construction Manual. Also presented is an overview of crane girder design procedures and an abbreviated design example. 4/28/2010 PCJohnson and JALaman 1 Introduction The design or evaluation procedure for combination sections – a wide flange with a channel cap – is specified in Section F4 of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC, 2005), which covers singly symmetric I-shaped members bent about their major axis. Reversal of the specified AISC evaluation process for direct design is not feasible; therefore design becomes a matter of trial and error. The situation is compounded for a comb
