Abstract

To address the neglect of seismic performance in conventional double-girder bridge crane optimization, this paper introduces a time-history analysis-based seismic optimization methodology for crane structures. Using a 25-t nuclear power crane as a case study, a bridge frame finite element model is established and validated through static analysis, confirming its accurate representation of the physical entity’s mechanical behavior. Furthermore, with bridge mass reduction as the objective and structural strength, stiffness, stability, and seismic mechanical performance as constraints, an optimization model is developed employing the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA).
