Dynamic Response of Anchored Tower Cranes under Sinusoidal Damped Seismic Action. Case Study

Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 1

Abstract

The subject of the behavior of tower cranes under seismic motion, it is particularly one. On September 2009, in the XXXIII National Conference on Mechanics of Solids - Romania, the authors presented the hypothesis of analysis, the dynamic model and the general system of differential equations of motion, considering the tower with and without anchors to the building. The research was continued with the study of the response of the tower cranes without anchors, loaded by the payload, under sinusoidal seismic actions. The results were presented at the 10th International Conference on Acoustics and Vibration on 2011. However, this paper continues these studies, considering the seismic motion in a more accurate approach. The comparative results are presented in a case study, for the MTO-180 tower crane.
