A time history approach was also developed to examine the effects of a
conventional weapon explosion on the stability of the crane.
The computer model was highly parameterised, using the ANSYS
parametric design language (APDL) in conjunction with the superelement approach,
which enabled several configurations of each crane to be considered in the
analyses.
Bennett Associates also produced the seismic design appendix for
Butterley Engineering’s design substantiation reports (DSRs), which were subject
to independent assessment by a third party.
