CHAPTER II: DESIGN CALCULATIONS DESIGN CONCEPT
• • • • 2.2
The footing dimensions was estimated based on over turning moment calculations with factor of safty 1.5 Checking for Sliding stability and soil capacity. Checking for Punching shear calculations for required reinforcement
DESIGN LOADS
As per manufacturer data sheet, the most critical design loads were considered for the case of crane in operation as follows: Moment (Over turning) M=4908 KN.m Horizontal force (Sliding) H=91KN gravity Load V=917 KN
2.3
LOADING COMBINATIONS
The given loads are mixed of dead loads, wind loads and live loads. However, a 1.5 ultimate factor can be considered as conservative load factor for concrete design. 2.4
GEOMETRY OF CRANE LEGS
The crane have a base dimensions with square shape of 1.98m side length. The fixing leg of 1.4m length should be embedded with 1.13m inside the footing. This means that the footing should has minimum thickness 1.40m.
2.5
OVER TURNING STABILITY CALCULATIONS
As per the figure below, the stability calculations were calculated as follows:

Figure 1: Stability against over turning
assume h=1.50m ==> over turning moment MOT = 4908+91*1.5 = 5044.5 KN.m footing weight = 25*1.5*L2 = 37.5L2 Stability moment = Mst = 917*L/2 + 37.5*L2*L/2 = 18.75 L3 + 458.5 L Use Factor of safty = F.O.S = 1.5 ==> 1.5=Mst / MOT ==> 18.75 L3 + 458.5 L - 7566.75 = 0 ==> L=6.5 m satisfy the equation.

CHECK SLIDING AND SOIL CAPACITY
- Sliding: Sliding coefficient is equal H=tan I where I=angle of internal friction ==> H=tan 30 = 0.57, Use 0.5 Sliding force = H = 91KN resisting force = (V+W)*H = (917+1584.375)*0.50 = 1250.7 >>91, OK - Soil capacity: soil stress = f = (V+W)/A ± MOT/(L*L2/6) A=footing area=L2 ==> f= 2501.375/42.25 ± 4908/(6.53/6) = 59.2 ± 107.23 Negative value is rejected ==> use another approach. refer to figure 2.
Figure 2: soil stress calculations
e=MOT/(V+W) = 4908/2501.375 = 1.96 m ==> r=1.29 m 0.5f*(3r)*L = (V+W) ==> 0.5f*3.87*6.5=2501.375 ==> f=198.88 KN/m2 < 300KN/m2, OK CLIENT:

CHECK PUNCHING
The fixing leg consists of several steel plates welded to the main shaft. Each plate of 350x350mm dimensions. The maximum force act for punching is considered for the case where the moments is diagonal on the footing. Fpunching = MOT/√(2*2.32) +V/4 = 4908/3.25 + 917/4 = 1510.2+229.25=1739.45 KN fs= punching stress directly at plate edge = 1.5*1739450/(4*350*d) where d=footing depth = 1500-65=1435mm ==> fs=1.3MPa T25@200mm is sufficient as per following data sheet extracted from ROBOT expert software.
