    A lifting lug is subjected to a factored load of 40 kN with a required factor of safety of 2. The plate used for the lug has dimensions of 80x80x20 mm and a yield strength of 235 N/mm^2. Calculations show the bending stress of 150 N/mm^2 is less than the allowable stress of 155.1 N/mm^2, so the plate is determined to be safe for the applied load.

    Load on single lifting lug = 20 kN

    Required factor of safety = 2


    Factored Load = 40 kN

    e
    H

    Plate thickness "t"

    plate Dimensions:
    H = 80 mm
    t = 20 mm
    e = 80 mm
    fy = 235 N/mm2
    (yield stress of plate material)

    Bending moment, M = 40*1000*80


    = 3200000 Nmm

    Elastic Section modulus of plate, Z = tH2/6


    = 21333.33 mm3

    Bending stress, σ = M/Z


    = 3200000/21333.3
    2
    = 150 N/mm

    Allowable bending stress = 0.66 fy


    = 155.1 N/mm2

    Plate is safe

    Note:
    Load is considered to be act vertical.
    If load is not acting in vertical plane, please use different design.
