1. Introduction
Gantry,a custom-built structure equipped for moving a load by raising and lowering
by electrical or manual means.
Gantries are mainly used in casting yards,stacking yards & in erection
locations. They serve the purpose of lifting and transportation of segments/elements to the
specified locations. The Gantry movement will be facilitated by means of Hilman
rollers/Wheel blocks over channels/rails respectively.For lifting operations, strand jacks,
ropes, lifting beams such as strong back are used. The movement of the Gantry may be by
electrical or manual means.
Gantries essentially consist of elevated girders connected at or near both ends to
vertical or inclined members. Vertical members may be Pipe section, rolled steel section or
built-up sections. Gantry runway girders are plate girders.

3. Steps Involved in Gantry Design

Step 1 :-
General Arrangement of gantry shall be prepared based on the following
considerations,
a) Maximum Weight to be handled.
b) Configuration of the element to be handled.
c) No. of Lifting Points
d) Direction of progress of work.
e) Restriction on wheel Base.
f) Arrangement for long travel and cross travel
g) Working height & Clearance required.
Step 2 :-
The following Loads are considered
a) Dead Load
b) Live Load
(Dynamic Effect shall be considered)
c) Lateral Load
d) Wind Load
e) Special Loads
a) Dead Load
Weight of the Gantry and materials supported by it permanently
are considered as dead load.
b) Live Loads
The following external loads are considered as Live Loads,
a) Weight of the element/segment
b) Weight of the lifting arrangement
(hook block, strand jack arrangement,crab,ropes,lifting beam etc)

Dynamic Effects:
The gantry shall be designed for additional dynamic effect. These effects caused by
inertia or sudden load application .Inorder,to make allowances for the effects, the forces /
loads shall be multiplied by relevant factors.
For factors consideration,
a) Identify Gantry Classification.
(Based on Working Period, effective load and dynamic effect, Gantry is classified)
b) Factors shall be taken.
Live Loads shall be applied at the lifting point location.Eccentricity(if any) in live
loads shall also be considered.
c) Lateral Load
When any moving load (any structure moving over rails) over the Gantry
Girder are considered, the lateral loads shall be considered as follows,
a) Horizontal force transverse to the rails
(Due to inaccuracy in alignment ,eccentricity )
b) Horizontal Force along the rails
(Due to acceleration & retardation)
Lateral loads shall be estimated as per IS 875 ( Part 3)-1987,Clause 6.3 and
IS 807 -1976,Clause 4.4.
d) Wind Load
Wind load shall be calculated as given below,
a) Calculate basic Wind pressure
b) Calculate design Wind Pressure.
c) Calculate Form Factor (with respect to the shape of the surface & their relative
disposition to each other in the direction of wind).
d) Calculate magnitude of wind force to be applied.
Wind Force = Design Wind Pressure x Exposed Area x Form Factor
(In case of Multiple Frames,shielding Effect shall be considered)
Note: Wind effect on lifted load shall be considered as per IS 807-1976,clause 4.7.1.1)
Wind loads shall be assumed to act at the joints for legs and at center of span for
Girders. Wind loads shall be applied in both direction (parallel & perpendicular to the
gantry) along with respective lateral loads.

Step 3 :-
Additional loads/load case for the settlement/deflection of track/supports shall be considered
in the analysis along with other loads
a) Actual settlement/deflection shall be considered.
b) This condition can be achieved by allowing the gantry legs to sink by actual
settlement/deflection (Staad Analysis).
Step 4 :-
Analysis has to be carried out using STAAD PRO or any other equivalent software.
a) Model the Gantry
(Depending upon the general arrangement, Gantry shall be modelled as space frame
or truss, whichever applicable)
b) Apply loads at the specified points.
(Refer Step 2 for loads)
c) Consider Probable Load Combinations
i.Dead Load + Live Load
ii.Dead Load + Live Load + Wind Load(Parallel to the Gantry)
iii.Dead Load + Live Load + Wind Load(Perpendicular to the Gantry)
iv.Dead Load + Live Load + Wind Load + Special Loads
d) Complete the analysis & verify the reactions to match with Self Weight and
loads applied.
e) List out the maximum forces in each member for
various load combinations.
Note: Support Condition – Allow Lateral movement in two supports. There shall not
be any instability for the structure during analysis.
Step 5 :-
Design the Members for maximum section forces from the analysis result.
The members shall be designed in accordance with the appropriate clauses
in IS 800-1984.

Step 6 :-
The Calculated stresses shall be lower than
a) Maximum Permissible Stresses multiplied by duty factor (dynamic effect)
b) Increase in Permissible Stresses shall be considered for Wind Case/effect
(applicable for working stress method)
Step 7 :-
The following checks should be carried out
a) Check for Axial tensile/compressive stress.
b) Check for bending stress in both Vertical and lateral direction(BMzz & BMyy)
c) Check for Combined Bending stress.
d) Check for Shear Stress
e) Check for Combined bending & Shear Stress
f) Check for deflection-absolute values.

4. Work Example:
Project : Bangalore International Airport.
Location : Devanahalli Bangalore.
In BIAL project, two gantries are proposed for erection of Pre cast roof element. The Gantry
named Erection Gantry is proposed for lifting the precast roof element from the ground to
19m height and for erection in various bay.For Supporting Erection Gantry during lifting of
the roof element and for shifting the Erection gantry to different bay, Shifting Gantry is
Proposed.
Example 1:
Design of Shifting Gantry
Details:
Weight of the Precast Roof Element = 110 MT
Weight of the Erection Gantry = 90 MT
(including all accessories)
Dimension of Erection Gantry (24m x 9m x 6m)
Dimension of the Precast Roof Element = 24m x 7.1m
Height to be lifted = 19 m
Loads & Factors to be considered:

Dead Load:
The self weight of the gantry shall be adjusted by considering additional self weight factor to
match the actual weight.
Live load:
Weight of the Precast Roof Element = 110 MT
Weight of the Erection Gantry = 90 MT
Wind Load:
Wind Pressure:
Basic Wind Pressure (For Bangalore), Vb = 33 m/s IS : 875 (Part 3),clause 5
Basic Wind Speed, IS : 875(Part 3),clause 5.3
Vz = Vb k1 k2 k3

k1 ( Risk Coefficient)
k1 = A-B[In{(-1/N) In (1-PN)} / (A+4B) IS:875,(Part 3),Table1
N (Mean probable = 2
Design life of Structure)
PN (risk level in N = 0.63
Consecutive Years)
A&B = Coefficients of different basic wind speeds
A = 83.2
B = 9.2
k1 = 0.694 m/s
k2 (terrain,height and structure size factor) IS:875(Part3),Clause 5.3.2

k2 = 1.1
(Ht=20m,Terrain Category 1& Class B)
k3 (Topography factor) IS:875(Part 3),Clause 5.3.3

k3 = 1.0
Design Wind Speed,

VZ = 33 * 0.694 *1.1* 1 IS: 875,(Part 3),Clause 5.3
= 25.19 m/s.
Design Wind Pressure, IS: 875,(Part 3),Clause 5.4
PZ = 0.6*VZ2
= 38 Kg /m2
Dynamic Factor:
Gantry Classification: IS: 807-1976,Clause 4.3
Working Period
Consider the Operation of the Gantry as 4hrs/day for 12 months
Total working hrs = 4 hrs x 26 days x 12
= 2976hrs > 500hrs/annum
Working period = long.

Effective load
No.of lifts < 1000 per annum.
Effective load = Low
Dynamic Effect
Travelling Speed of < 100m/min
Erection Gantry
Dynamic Effect = Low
Based on above,the Gantry is considered as Classification No.2
Factors: IS: 807-1976,Clause 4.4,Table 2
Impact Factor = 1.3
Duty Factor = 0.95
Horizontal force Factor = 0.05
Load Calculation:
Live Load:
The loads will be transferred as reaction from the erection gantry.
No of Gantry Legs = 4
Total load on each leg = (Impact factor x Total Weight)/ 4
= 1.3*(110 + 90)/4
= 65 MT.
Lateral Load:
Lateral Load = Horizontal load factor * Vertical load
= 0.05 * 65
= 3.25 MT
Lateral load applied in both direction perpendicular to the Vertical load.
Wind Load:
Wind load = Design Wind pressure * Exposed Area * Form Factor
(Form factor shall be considered based on the IS:807- 1976,clause 4.7.1.2

Shape of the structure)

Wind Load Shall be calculated for both the Wind direction

Perpendicular to the Gantry
Gantry Leg = 38*(17.67 * 0.25)* 1.6
= 269 Kg
Leg Bracings = 38*(26*0.15)*1.6

= 237 Kg.
Parallel to the Gantry
Gantry Leg(Front) = 38*(35*0.25)*1.2
= 399 Kg
Leg Bracings = 38*(16.4*0.15)*1.2

= 112 Kg
Gantry Leg(Rear) = 38*(17.67*0.6)*1.2

= 483 Kg
Gantry Girder = 38*(15*1.6)*1.2

= 1094 Kg
Wind Loads shall be applied at the joints/nodes for legs & at center of the span for Main
Girders.
