Studies and Experimental Research on the Behavior in Exploitation of the Beam Ensemble of the Ingot Handling Cranes in Siderurgical Metallic Workshop

摘要

The paper includes in first part the experimental investigations proper, carried out according to the steps of the research program given in the final part of the precedent paper. The research has been done on the geometry of the beam ensemble of the ingot-handling crane from the Pit Furnace Workshop under analysis, and the results have been interpreted both qualitatively and quantitatively, with respect to the influence of the specific exploitation conditions in siderurgy upon the safety of these structures. The critical analysis and the interpretation of the results of the measurements was further extended over the investigation of the causes and factors that made for the evolution of geometrical imperfections and deviations that have been noticed. In the final part of the paper we suggested possibilities of turning into account the data and information obtained as a result of the investigation and experimental research programs.
