Within this scope, the SOCRAT (Seismic simulation of Overhead CRAne on shaking Table) international benchmark, organized by the Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) and Electricity of France (EDF) under the umbrella of the OECD/NEA, was launched in June 2020. Its initial objectives were (i) to identify best modeling practices of bridge crane devices in the beyond design domain and (ii) to identify relevant failure criteria. Due to the tight schedule and the heavy content of the benchmark, the second objective was finally only very partially addressed by evaluating the forces transmitted to the anchor as they seem to be one of the primary causes of failure.
