7 Conclusions

Case 1
Maximum Stress = 103700000 N/m2
Maximum Deflection = 26.82 mm

Allowable Stress = 0.59 x 250000000 N/m2

= 147500000 N/m2 (according to BS 2573 : Part 1)
Allowable Deflection = 7500/250
= 30 mm (according to BS 7333 : 1990)

The maximum stress and deflection is within the allowable value. Hence, the Jib Crane size is adequate to support 4.5ton load
at 7.5m outreach without fail.

Case 2
Maximum Stress = 148200000 N/m2

The maximum stress is lower than the yield strength. Hence, the jib crane is remain safe lifting 150% designated load.

Case 3
Maximum Stress = 73380000 N/m2
Maximum Deflection = 24.43 mm

Allowable Stress = 0.59 x 250000000 N/m2

= 147500000 N/m2 (according to BS 2573 : Part 1)
Allowable Deflection = 7500/250
= 30 mm (according to BS 7333 : 1990)

The maximum stress and deflection is within the allowable value. Hence, the Jib Crane size is adequate to support 3ton load
at 10m outreach without fail.

Case 4
Maximum Stress = 95790000 N/m2

The maximum stress is lower than the yield strength. Hence, the jib crane is remain safe lifting 150% designated load.
