Structure evaluation for 70/15 $T{\times}105\;m$ LLC(Level Luffing Crane)'s boom was conducted by Finite Element Method. Boom modeled with beam element was fixed by luff rope and boom mount and was received loads from self weight, luff hoisting, traveling motion, slewing motion, and wind force, etc. These applied loads were calculated using various factors presented in the reference standards and were inputted in the analysis model after considering about the adverse conditions of LLC. In the research, deformation, stresses, buckling of boom were evaluated by ANSYS. Structural safety of boom was confirmed in the results of numerical analysis.
