The operation analysis of the stanchion as an open column element

Abstract

One-story buildings with steel frames are used in many cases for the output production for various purposes. The main vertical bearing element of such frames are the steel columns. With the presence of the technological lifting mechanisms in the building in the form of bridge supporting cranes in such columns, the crane part is designed lattice, and a special step (ledge, beam) is provided in the column design for supporting the crane girders. The columns are determined for a significant proportion of the metal consumed on the steel frame. Reducing the metal columns is an urgent task. Improving the efficiency of the design solutions is possible based on the study of the structures’ actual operation factors, in particular – the columns stability, and the accumulation of data to clarify the standard design methods for sustainability.
