Probability Analysis of Crane Load and Load Combination Actions

Figure 4

CDF and PDF of the arbitrary point-in-time distribution, the maximum value distribution during the design reference period determined by (a) the maximum value method and (b) the POT method for the vertical load and the horizontal force (for interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article). Note. Line 1: distribution of the arbitrary point-in-time value. Line 2: distribution of the maximum value determined by POT method. Line 3: distribution of the maximum value determined by the maximum value method.

(a) Validation of the vertical load model

(b) Validation of the horizontal force model
