Wall Tie Member Force Curve for the Construction Tower Crane

Tower crane's wall tie is generally used for extending of mast height according to rising of lifting height. In order to get wall tie member force this problem, this study concerning wall tie is based on load data described in manual book of 290HC model. This study made the equation of wall tie member force and computer programming for calculating wall tie member force and then get curves(angle-wall tie force). After considering the curves, optimum angle range () about wall ties (A), (C) members was obtained. Member force of wall tie (B) was changed from tension to compression or from compression to tension at in service and in out of service. When both horizontal force() and torsional moment () were varied from (+) to (-), wall tie force(A, B, C) were changed almost symmetrically about -axis. Because this study was based on wall tie analysis conditions, wall tie members in symmetric and ideal geometry shape used for analizing wall tie of tower crane, it is necessary to have more careful verification in order to apply generally the results of this study.
