BS ISO 11031:2016 establishes general methods for calculating seismic loads to be used as
defined in the ISO 8686 series and for proof of competence as defined in ISO 20332, for the structure
and mechanical components of cranes as defined in ISO 4306.This International Standard evaluates dynamic response behaviour of a crane subjected to seismic
excitation as a function of the dynamic characteristics of the crane and of its supporting structure.The evaluation takes into account dynamic effects both of regional seismic conditions and of the local
conditions on the surface of the ground at the crane location.The operational conditions of the crane and the risks resulting from seismic damage to the crane are
also taken into account.This International Standard is restricted to the serviceability limit state (SLS), maintaining stresses
within the elastic range in accordance with ISO 20332.The present edition does not extend to proofs of competence which include plastic deformations. When
these are permitted by agreement between crane supplier and customer, other standards or relevant
literature taking them into account can be used.Cross References:ISO 4306ISO 8686ISO 20332All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
