DESIGN LOAD :-
Load to be lifted = P = 389 Kgs
Impact factor = I 1.6
Design Load = PxI = Pd = 622.4 Kgs

Load Per Lifting Lug :-

Pd1 = Pd/N = 311.2 Kgs

PIN FOR LIFTING LUG :-

Allowable shear stress :-
Fs = 0.4 x Fy = 9.8 Kg/mm²
Pd1 = (2 x pi x d² x Fs)/4
Therefore,
d = sqrt ((Pd1 x 4)/(2 x pi x Fs)) = 4.50 mm
Say, 20 mm
Hole dia provided in lug :- 30 mm

THICKNESS OF LIFTING LUGS

a) For bearing
d x S x Fb = Pd1
where d = 30 mm ( pin dia )
Fb = 0.66 x Fy = 16.1502 Kg/mm²

Asuming smaller permissible dia of pin = 20 mm

t = Pd1 / (d x Fb) = 0.96 mm

Thickness of provided Lug = 16 mm

Provided thickness is greater than required hence, Design is Safe

b) For shear
Distance from top point of lug to the centre of hole R = 30 mm

Dia of hole provided, D = 30 mm

Actual edge distance available - K

K = R - D/2 = 15 mm

Thickness of Lug = Pd1/ (Fs x 2 K) = 1.06 mm

Provided thickness is greater than required hence, Design is Safe

c) Design of weld joint between Lug and Shell

Length of weld = (2 x a) + (2 x b)

where, a is the width of lug = 80 mm

b is the thickness of lug = 16 mm
Length of weld (Lw) = 192 mm
Size of fillet Sf = 6 mm
Throat Dimension = 0.707 x Sf = 4.24 mm

Weldment Area (Aw) = Throat dimension x Length of weld (Lw)

= 814.464 sq mm

Stress = Pd1 / Aw = 0.38 Kg/mm²

Allowable stress (weld joint)

= 0.49 x Fy = 11.9903 Kg/mm²

Since allowable stress 11.9903 Kg/mm² > stress 0.38 Kg/mm²

Actual Stress is less than allowable stress hence, Design is Safe

d) Check for bending of Lugs

Angle bet rope & vertical theta = 15 °

Pull in Ropes = Pd1 / cos ( theta ) = 322.18 Kg

Distance from bottom of lug to centre line of lug pin = 50 mm

Pull in rope X Distance from bottom of lug to centre line of lug pin
= 16108.9 Kg mm
Section modulous Z = (S x B²) / 6 = 17066.7 mm³
Maximum bending stress in lug = M / Z = 0.94 Kg/mm²
Allowable bending stress = 0.66 x Fy = 16.15 Kg/mm²

Maximum bending stress is less than allowable bending stress hence, Design is Safe
