Recently a large Crane fell in Tampa and caused a lot of damage. I heard people say it was “rated” for wind speeds that were less than the wind speeds of the recent hurricane. How can it be measured down to certain winds speed, as in, 100 MPH is safe, but 130 MPH is not safe?
In: Engineering
In addition to the way the limits are calculated, they will also over engineer and under estimate the minimums. It will be designed to handle 150 mph winds, but will be advertised as having a 100mph limit.
