Influence of steel brackets supporting crane runway girders structure on the stress distribution in the brackets
PublicationThe paper presents a numerical analysis of steel brackets supporting a double-span crane runway girders. The purpose of the study was to assess the new structural solution based on the stress distribution in the brackets.
