Three types of fatigue cracks frequently observed in the crane runway girders are verified experimentally using two testing-purpose girders with the size of $6400{\times}600{\times}300$ in millimeters. The fatigue cracks are observed in the vicinity of load-bearing points, at the end of gusset plates and at the fillet welded joints between the lower flange and the web. The load-bearing-point cracks are initiated at the intersection of the fillet welds between the upper flange and the web, where the vertical stiffener is located. The cracks grow up toward the diagonal direction of the web. The cracks observed at the fillet welded joints grow up perpendicularly to the crane runway girder. Compared with the JSSC fatigue design code, the joint class is classified as follows: E for the vicinity of load-bearing points, G or H for the end of gusset plates and D for the lower fillet welded joints. The tests reveal that the class of joint classification at the end of gusset plates and at the lower flange coincides with the fatigue design code.

iTOP(integrated-design Tool Of Plant)은 철골공장을 대상으로 한 모델링, 구조해석, 후처리, 부재설계, 구조계산서, 구조도면 및 물량산출에 이르는 일련의 과정을 유기적으로 통합한 시스템이다. 크레인 주행도를 주요 인터페이스 도구로 이용하고 \"크레인 하중조건\"이라는 개념을 새로이 도입함으로써, 각 크레인의 주행 범위 및 하중 옵션을 경우별로 설정할 수 있도록 하였다. 이에 따라 크레인거더의 설계 및 해석하중의 계산이 효과적으로 이루어지고, 제반 데이터에 따른 크레인 하중조합의 산정은 완전히 자동화되었다.

Four types of repair procedures are applied to the fatigue cracked crane runway gilders, which are stop-holes as crack arrester stop-holes reinforced with high strength bolts, welding repair and reinforcement with high strength bolted splices. The fatgiue cracks are reinitiated at the region where stop-holes and weld repairments are applied, while none of the cracks are observed in the cases of stop-holes reinforcement and reinforcement with high strength bolted splices. When using stop-holes and hole-reinforcement all repaired regions show a same fatigue strength to the one before the repairments. The experiments also reveal that the proper weldment is an essential factor when applying the welding repairement as a properly welding produces the same level of fatigue strength after the repairement. When the situation permits to use reinforcement with high strength boilted splices, the experiments shows the repairment is the best possible method among the procedures available.
