Rajagopalan, K S (1988) Supports for traveling cranes: Case history. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 114(1), pp. 114-120. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
Tight sight conditions and a short construction schedule necessitated the use of two travelling cranes during the construction of a hotel. Steep slopes at the south and basement walls at the north posed interesting structural design challenges for these crane supports. Problems encountered in the selection of the crane system and the design of its supports are described; the solutions to these problems are illustrated.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
