Calculations For Buckling

Shown below are the calculations carried out to find out if the crane stucture would buckle and fail. The calculations were carried out on the members which would be likely to buckle under a compressive load.





The calculations prove that the members under compressive load would not buckle at 1.5 times the recommended lifting capacity.
