Stability check for Cathodic Protection Pile Lug Plate (Case “A”)

1. Design Condition

Material is A516 Gr.70 / A36

Shear Stress, τmax = 18000psi x 0.07031 = 1265 Kg/cm2
Welding Size = 8 mm = 0.8 cm
Safety Factor, FS = 4
Actual estimated weight, P = 1.1Ton
Load acting on each lug, P = 1.1 / 2 = 0.55 Ton

2. Safe Work Load Calculation

i. As per max. Shear Stress

From Equation,
Shear Stress, τ = P x FS
A
P=τxA
= 1265 x (1.5x 3.0)
= 5692 Kg

P = 5.7 Ton

Calculated Load, P = 5.7 Ton > Actual estimated Load, P = 1.1 Ton.

Therefore, OK

ii. Weld Strength check

From Equation,

Shear Stress, τ = P x FS
A
P=τxAx1
FS
= 1265 x [(7.5 x 2) +( 0.8x 2)] = 20999 Kg

P = 20999 Kg

P = 20.9 Ton

Calculated Load, P = 20.9 Ton > Actual estimated Load, P = 1.1 Ton, Therefore OK

3. Result

Therefore, the lug plate is suitable for lifting the estimated cathodic protection Pile lug plate.

1. Design Condition

Material is A516 Gr.70 / A36

Shear Stress, τmax = 18000psi x 0.07031 = 1265 Kg/cm2
Welding Size = 8 mm = 0.8 cm
Safety Factor, FS = 4
Actual estimated weight, P = 2.545Ton
Load acting on each lug, P = 2.545 / 2 = 1.27 Ton

2. Safe Work Load Calculation

i. As per max. Shear Stress

From Equation,
Shear Stress, τ = P x FS
A
P=τxAx1
FS
= 1265 x (1.5x 4.4)

P = 8.4 Ton

Calculated Load, P = 8.4 Ton > Actual estimated Load, P = 2.545 Ton.

Therefore, OK

2 Result
