Abstract:This study is conducted to provide the reference data for an alarm system to prevent an overturning of a container crane under wind loads. Two methods, namely FSI (fluid-structure interaction) analysis and wind tunnel test, are adopted in this investigation. In order to evaluate the effect of wind load on the stability of the crane, a 50-ton class container crane, widely used in container terminals, is adopted for an analytic model, and 19 values are considered for wind direction as a design parameter. First, … Show more
