LIFTING LUG DIMENSIONS: RE-PAD DIMENSION:

h= 152 a= 152 LENGTH(l): 0
b= 152 f= 76 WIDTH(w) : 0
di= 35 t1 = 19.05 THICK.(t): 0
LUG ORIENTATION (A) : 45 tc = 0
SLING ANGLE (B) = 45 dc = 0

LUG FORCES : MATERIAL ASTM A 36

VERTICAL LIFTING FORCE, PL = P/4*F = 11641 N
FORCE ALONG SLING, PV = PL/COS(B) = 16462 N
CIRC.FORCE,Pc = PV*COS(90-(A+B)) or COS(B)= 16462 N
RADIAL FORCE,Pr = PV*SIN(90-(A+B)) or SIN(B)= 0 N
MATERIAL OF LUG :
YIELD STRESS, Ys= : 250 N/mm2

ALLOWABLE STRESSES :
TENSILE STRESS,Sa=0.6*Ys : 150 N/mm2
SHEAR STRESS, Ss=0.4*Ys : 100 N/mm2
BEARING STRESS, Se=0.8*Ys : 200 N/mm2
BENDING STRESS, Sb=0.66*Ys : 165 N/mm2

INDUCED STRESSES :

TENSILE STRESS = PV/[(t1*(b-di)+((dc-di)*2*tc)] = 7.39 N/mm2 <Sa HENCE SAFE

SHEAR STRESS = PV/[2*((t1*(f-ri)+(dc-di)*2*tc)]= 7.39 N/mm2
<Ss HENCE SAFE
BEARING STRESS = PV/[di*(t1+2*tc)] = 24.69 N/mm2 <Se HENCE SAFE
BENDING STRESS = M/Z=Pc*h/(t1*a^2/6)= 34.11 N/mm2
<Sb HENCE SAFE

STRENGTH OF WELD (LIFTING LUG TO SHELL) :

FILLET LEG SIZE (WFp) = 10 mm

TOTAL WELD LENGTH (Wl) = 304 mm
LINEAR SECT.MOD.(Z)=2*a^2/6 = 7701.33 mm2

UNIT FORCES DUE TO CIRCUMFERENTIAL FORCES

BENDING(f1) = Pc*h/Z = 324.92 N/mm
SHEAR (f2) = Pc/Wl = 54.15 N/mm
UNIT FORCES DUE TO RADIAL FORCES
SHEAR (f3) = Pr/Wl = 0.00 N/mm

REQUIRED WELD SIZE DUE TO COMBINED LOAD

f = sqrt[(f1+f2)^2+f3^2] = 379.07 N/mm

WELD EFFICIENCY = 0.85 (E)

WELD STRENGTH, fw = Sa.E = 127.50 N/mm2 (Sw)
LEG SIZE (WFc)= f/fw = 2.97 mm
AS WFp>WFc, PROVIDED WELD FILLET SIZE IS SUFFICIENT
