The document discusses the design of a crane runway beam to support a 10 ton crane based on AISC design specifications. It provides the crane parameters and loads and performs bending, shear, and buckling checks on a proposed W16x100 beam section.

The design must consider the vertical and horizontal loads from the crane wheels, including impact forces. It must also satisfy deflection criteria. Bending moments and shear are calculated based on the wheel loads and beam geometry.

The steps include determining the plastic and nominal bending capacities based on the beam's section properties, checking for yielding and lateral-torsional buckling based on the beam's bracing arrangement, and comparing the design bending moment to the nominal capacity.
