The standard provides rules for structural safety, specifying how to calculate loads and verify the fatigue life of crane components. It is primarily divided into three parts: DIN 15018-1 (Verification and Analysis):
Verification is based on ensuring stresses remain below the material's yield point or a fraction of its tensile strength. din 15018 pdf free download
