    So before engineering the building, we should engineer a tower crane.

  • @Aleksandar6ix
    @Aleksandar6ix 3 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    But we never actually SEE this happen, nor do we ever actually see them raise in height with the hydraulic jacks. Also, those cranes that are in the middle of the buildings....how do the jacks fit in there, and do the chassis remain inside the structure permanently?

    • @paisu24
      @paisu24 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Seeing cranes self assembling is rare and maybe not visible because they are rising at low speeds. Cranes that are in buildings are lifted diffrently, it is mounted in the building and able to lift itself up to diffrent floors. Theyre mostly dismantled by Mobile cranes or special disassembly cranes. Some parts may remain in the buillding, but most are able to be removed

      Those cranes in the middle of the building are usually put in the emergency stairwell with tie in points in flooring, when the jobs finished the base remains and stairwells are added.
      Hydraulic cylinders with outriggers lift the crane towers up while a new section is added to the base via trolley. That's how they gain height

    The base section must be poured and set and density/ harness tested 30 days after its setting of the crane base before the rest of the sections can be built! No tower crane can show up and operate same day they appear to show up overnight because you don’t notice the base pour a month before it “appeared” (tower crane operate in training here )

      I would hate to be a construction worker being near those things since your life is totally dependent on their skill and everyone that constructed it. I could imagine you would have very little time to react to an error unless you knew what to look for and the "grunt" level guys probably know little about the cranes weaknesses or might just be busy not looking when an accident is about to happen.

    1:25 The bolts anchoring the crane are not 5/16", since a 5/16" Grade 8 bolt will take 25 ft*lbs of torque, and not 4300 ft*lbs. Serious error. 4300 ft*lbs of torque would be more for a 1 3/4" or 2" bolt and not 5/16". Also, it's cables not ropes 3:37. Ooops. I think you guys should change your name to Wanabee Engineer.
