Fatigue Detail Guidelines (PDF)

This document contains a summary of common structural fatigue details, tolerant and intolerant, along with an explanation of relative fatigue life for some common details based on BS 5400, BS 7608, and EN 1993-1-9:2005.

Crane Design Criteria Based on Limited Experience (PDF)

Experience is necessary but it is not sufficient to determine if the risk is acceptable. A structure that has not failed may or may not be on the verge of failure. Unexpected events happen. There is always some risk. Design criteria should be based on industry standard and on acceptable risk.

Bulk Loader Seismic Study (Video)

Liftech performed a time history analysis of seismic forces on an 800 t cement unloader. The video shows the computer model of the unloader on the wharf subject to earthquake forces. Based on results of the analysis, Liftech provided recommendations to improve the seismic performance.
