The construction industry continues to be one of the industries with the highest accident rate.
Tower cranes have always been the central component of many construction operations …

The maximum wind load direction of tower crane is considered to be perpendicular to its jib.
The interference effects of its different segments and across-wind loads are ignored in …

Tower cranes are commonly used facilities for the construction of high-rise structures. To
ensure their workability, it is very important to analyze their response and evaluate their …

Gantry cranes used for container handling at container terminals (hereinafter referred to as
cranes) have experienced unexpected runaways caused by wind. In the present paper, a …

Wind and current loads have a significant effect on crane vessel and pipelaying operations.
This study analyzes a pipelaying crane vessel performing deep-water operations, and uses …

The present paper concerns the problem of estimating the loading induced by the wind on a
gantry crane standing in the open air. Sufficiently strong wind may cause the device to move …

The lifting equipment and in particular the crane machine are subject to different load
conditions; as well as the actions induced by the pay load many other forces acting on the …

With the rapid development of the construction industry, tower cranes are increasingly used
in coastal engineering. However, due to the complexity of their operating environment, tower …

The swing behaviour of tower cranes under compound working conditions is closely related
to construction safety and structural health. This paper presents dynamic models and …

The results obtained in terms of maximum displacement depend on the crane load
conditions and on the different schematizations used for the wind action. Using a variable …
