Which load case is most likely to induce bi-axial bending in gantry girders?
62. Which load case is most likely to induce bi-axial bending in gantry girders?
- Dead load
- Point load at mid-span
- Eccentric crane load
- Uniformly distributed load
Answer
The correct answer is: C) Eccentric crane load
Explanation
Eccentric loads from cranes can create bi-axial bending moments in gantry girders, requiring careful consideration in their design to resist bending in multiple directions simultaneously.
