CALCULATION OF LIFTING BUCKET CONCRETE

General Data:
Vertical force z-axis, Fz = 2870 kg = 6327 lbs
Horizontal force x-axis, Fx = 143 kg = 316 lbs
Lateral force y-axis, Fy = 143 kg = 316 lbs

WL

Weld length (assume only top and bottom side welded -conservative method)
Length of weld around, Aw = 2 Hw + 2 W L = 500 mm = 19.69 in
Fillet weld dimension, w = 10 mm = 0.39 in
2
Allowable weld stress, Sw = 1020 kg/cm = 14,504 psi

Load on Fillet Weld per linear inch of weld:

2
Tension stress of weld, St = Fx / Aw = 1 kg/cm = 16 lbs/in
2
Shear stress of weld, Ss = Fz / Aw = 23 kg/cm = 321 lbs/in
3
Lateral stress of weld, Sl = Fy / Aw = 1 kg/cm = 16 lbs/in

Load on weld:
2
Tension stress of weld, ft = St / (0.707w) = 4 kg/cm = 58 psi
2
Shear stress of weld, fs = Ss / (0.707w) = 81 kg/cm = 1155 psi
3
Lateral stress of weld, fl = Sl / (0.707w) = 4 kg/cm = 58 psi
2
Total stress of weld, f = 81 kg/cm = 1158 psi

Check tension stress = OK Ratio = 0.40%

Check shear stress = OK Ratio = 7.96%
Check shear stress = OK Ratio = 0.40%
Check total stress = OK Ratio = 7.98%
