ISO 11031:2016建立了计算ISO 8686系列中定义的地震荷载以及ISO 20332中定义的能力证明的通用方法，用于ISO 4306中定义的起重机结构和机械部件。 ISO 11031:2016评估了起重机在地震激励下的动态响应行为，作为起重机及其支撑结构动态特性的函数。 评估考虑了区域地震条件和起重机位置地面局部条件的动态影响。 起重机的运行条件和地震损坏对起重机造成的风险也被考虑在内。 它被限制在正常使用极限状态（SLS），根据ISO 20332将应力保持在弹性范围内。 它不适用于包括塑性变形在内的能力证明。如果起重机供应商和客户之间的协议允许，可以使用其他标准或考虑这些标准的相关文献。

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. ISO 11031:2016 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. It is restricted to the serviceability limit state (SLS), maintaining stresses within the elastic range in accordance with ISO 20332. It 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.
