Generally, design of I runway beam starts with stresses
from global bending and finishes with design check for
bottom flange, with above mentioned procedures. With
higher level of global bending stresses design check of
bottom flange can turn calculus to the beginning. Also,
different manufacturers of trolleys have different wheels
and their mounting instruction on I beams that can
influence bottom flange bending. In this paper it is
presented diagrams for loading capacity for commonly
used I runway beams for fast determination of steel
beams. Loading capacity is determined due to beam span
(L) and wheel position on I beam (w), fig. 3.
FE analysis of runway beams is related to the finite
element contact problems [3], [4], [5], [6], and, with this
complicacy and no possibility to generalize solution, can
only be used for verification of analytical models, fig.5.

2.2. Stresses combination
Design criterion for this case is that stress field in bottom
flange of I section runway beam reach values of allowable
stresses.

2.3. Algorithm formulation
According to above mentioned expression it can be
concluded that strength of specific I beam depends of
beam span (L) and wheel position on I beam (w). It is
known for runway beams that maximum bending stresses
occurs in the middle of the span for hoist positioned there,
fig. 6. Bottom flange bending stresses occurs on spot
where hoist is positioned.
Thus, loading capacity of runway beams comes from
strength of its middle section.

and can be presented as contour plot. Generally, it can be
represented as 3D plot, fig.7, but it would be more
difficult for data collection. Presentation in contour plot
has advantage because contours present loading capacities
in terms of nominal hoists capacities, which is necessary
for runway beams.

3. LATERAL BUCKLING NOTES
If beam doesnt have sufficient lateral stiffness or lateral
supports it may buckle out of the loading plane. For a
straight elastic beam, there is no out-of-plane
displacement until the applied moment reaches its critical
value, when the beam buckles by deflecting laterally.

In Serbian design procedures it is common to check
lateral buckling of I section runway beams due to
J US.U.E7.101/1996., with comparasion of maximum
bending stresses with allowable stress

According to this, maximum loading capacity of I section
beam can be calculated with following conditions

According to values of critical moment gained by these
expressions, for specified I section beam (J US. C.B3.131)
loading capacity due to lateral buckling depends of beam
span (L) and can be denoted as ) (L F

Further notes about lateral buckling are not given here,
since they are presented in J US.U.E7.101/1996.
4. RESULTS
Previous algorithm can be used for any I section runway
beam. Chart 2. presents results of capacities due to
strenght of bottom flange for commonly used I beams
(J US. C.B3.131). Also, allowable stresses
dopII dopI
,
are taken for material S235J RG2 (C.0361). However,
since loading capacity is proportional to allowable
stresses, following charts can give runway beam capacity
for other materials as well. For runway beams built up
from S355J R (C.0561), loading capacities can be
calculated as

According to the data of world known producers of hoists
and single-girder cranes, charts are given with practical
limits of variables, i.e. with beam spans (L) up to 8 m and
wheel position dimension (w) up to 30 mm. Generally,
design selection of I section runway beams should start
with chart 2., i.e. with loading capacity F due to bottom
flange strenght and finished with verification of loading
capacity F

For bigger spans, due to runway beam mass, it is common
to use section reinforcements to prevent occurrence of
mentioned states in static behavior, fig. 9.

5. CONCLUSION
Previous algorithms give useful curves for application in
design process of I runway beams. It is presented charts
for loading capacity due to bottom flange bending and
loading capacity due to lateral buckling of I section
beams. According to these two values it can be easily
found suitable structural element for runway beams,
concerning demands of strength and stability. Also, it can
be used for design check of built up runway beams.
Especially, it is useful in situation with unknown
producers of trolleys where position of wheel load cant
be easily determined. Thus, it provides analysis of loading
capacity changes due to different wheel load positions
according to width of trolley wheel. Finally, it can be used
for design process of monorail tracks with chain or
electric hoists.
