Evaluation of possibility of using crane-beams with increased load capacity in the existing industrial building

In the face of rapid changes in technological progress and market demands, industrial facilities require technical re-equipment to meet their objectives more and more frequently. In the article, work was carried out to investigate the possibility of equipping the existing production building, which is a two-span steel frame made of solid-wall welded I-beams of constant section, crane-beams with lifting capacity of 10 tons instead of the existing 5 tons, with possible options of reinforcement of structures in case of lack of their bearing capacity.
