Features: This book is primarily compiled based on the author's extensive experience in the design of track systems for overhead transport equipment and in the preparation of standard drawings for such equipment. The first chapter collects a wealth of data on overhead transport equipment produced and used in China, providing designers with a comprehensive understanding of the production and usage of such equipment in the country, thereby facilitating the selection and application of appropriate components in design calculations. Subsequent chapters introduce application materials for overhead transport equipment tracks, design calculation methods, and structural treatments. These include calculation methods for straight and curved tracks with simple spans, two-span continuous spans, and three-span continuous spans, as well as supplementary checks on the bending stress of the lower flange of the track under wheel loads. Additionally, the author proposes calculation methods for connectors, along with worked examples, calculation tables, and derivations of calculation formulas. The book also lists detailed calculations and structural drawings for various connectors and joints, along with their related construction methods.
