Support Technical support for Arcomet group Loadings / non standard Follow up projects Guideline for new crane standards FEM 1005 - Wind zone classification EN 13001-2 / EN 14439

1. What is new in EN 14439 1.3. European Standards: 1.3.5. Improved Safety in Out-of-service Conditions * WIND = Important factor in the stability of the crane * New standards (FEM 1004 – 1005 and EN 14439) are considering the windload in a more realistic way: - Taking in account: 1) crane’s height 2) regional wind history  This reduces the risk of accident due to “out-of-service” wind conditons

1. What is new in EN 14439 1.3. European Standards: 1.3.5. Improved Safety in Out-of-service Conditions - Previous standards made no references to different wind areas and used only their national boundaries: ex.: cost area’s can very different wind conditions - Reference wind speeds: New standards will be divided according to a wind speed level classification (A = lowest ; F = biggest) Most of Europe is covered by the C - category - Wind Speed Profile: The old standards gave one Wind Speed Profile for cranes with heights between 20 m and 100 m: 151 km/h The new standard give a more representative wind speed Profile which is dependent of the height.

1. What is new in EN 14439 1.3. European Standards: 1.3.5. Improved Safety in Out-of-service Conditions - Wind Recurrence : Wind speed profiles can be set according to various levels, based on the time period considered for identifying the highest probable windspeed. “ The longer the time period, the more probable it is to find bigger storms” Typical wind speed profiles are defined for: * 10, 25 or 50 years * 25 is recommended for tower crane - C category is the minimum required reference wind speed so even A en B are C. - In commercial and technical documents a letter (C,D,E, F) for the reference wind speed followed by a number (10,25,50) for the wind recurrence: example: C25

1. What is new in EN 14439 1.3. European Standards: 1.3.5. Improved Safety in Out-of-service Conditions Example C25: * tower crane in area C with a 25 year recurrence * For a crane at a height of 60 m: EN 14439: windspeed 161 km/h wind pressure: 120 kg/m² FEM 1001: windspeed 151 km/h windpressure: 110 kg/m² Example D 50: * tower crane in area D with a 50 year recurrence For a crane at a height of 60 m: EN 14439: windspeed 193 km/h wind pressure: 180 kg/m²
