Lug Width, b = 5.500 in.
Rounded Edge? = No
Will Pin Rotate Under Load? = Yes

Pin Diameter, dpin = 1.000 in.
Lug Thickness, t = 1.000 in.
AISC Factor of Safety, F.S.1 = 5.0
AISC Factor of Safety, F.S.2 = 3.1 F.S.2 = max{3, Fy/(Fu/F.S.1)} ASME Notation
ASME Factor of Safety, F.S.3 = 3.0 Assuming Category B lifters

AISC Preferred Geometry AISC Alternate Geometry

Results:

Check Geometry:
Check 1: O.K. dh - dpin > 0, Pin fits in hole, O.K.
Check 2: O.K. a >= max(0.5*dh,2*t), Plate Proportions are O.K.
Check 3: O.K. e >= 0.67*dh, Plate Proportions are O.K.
Check 4: O.K. e >= 1.33*a, Use full value of a for design
a,eff = 2.00 in. a controls
a,max = 2.63 in. a,max = 2*t+.625
a,use = 2.00 in. Use a,eff in design

Tensile Strength of Lifting Lug (AISC Eqn. D5-1):


P1 = 46.40 kips P1 = (2*a,use*t*Fu) / F.S.1

Bearing Capacity of Lifting Lug (AISC Eqn. J7-1):


P2 = N/A kips P2 = (1.8*Fy*t*dpin) / F.S.2
Per Ricker, only check bearing capacity if pin is "snug" in hole
Tearing Tension Capacity of Lifting Lug (Ricker pg 152):
P3 = 97.67 kips P3 = {(1.67*Fy*t*e^2)/dh} / F.S.2
Per Ricker pg. 152, Fb is used instead of Fy, but Fb = Fy/F.S.2
Shear Capacity (Shear Rupture) of Lifting Lug (AISC Eqn D5-2):
P4 = 38.28 kips P4 = (0.6*Fu*2*t*e) / F.S.1
Per AISC Eqn. D5-2, Asf = 2*t*(e+dh/2), cons. to assume dh/2=0)
Gross Section Yielding of Lifting Lug (AISC Eqn D2-1):
P5 = 63.80 kips P5 = (Fy*t*b) / F.S.2

Tensile Strength of Lifting Lug (ASME Eqn. 3-45):


Cr = 0.795 Cr = 1 - 0.275*sqrt{1 - (dpin^2 / dh^2)}
a,eff = 1.67 in. a, eff = min(a, 4*t, 0.6*a*(Fu/Fy)*sqrt(dh / a)
P6 = 42.89 kips P6 = (Cr*Fu*2*t*a,eff) / (1.2*F.S.3)

Single Plane Fracture Strength of Lifting Lug (ASME Eqn. 3-49):


R= 3.500 in. R = e+(dh/2)
P7 = 49.13 kips P7 = [(Cr*Fu)/(1.2*F.S.3)] *
[1.13*(R-.5*dh)+(0.92*a,eff)/(1+a,eff/dh)] * t
Double Plane Fracture Strength of Lifting Lug (ASME Eqn. 3-50):
f= 36.67 deg. f = 55*(dpin / dh)
Z' = 0.000 in. Z' = R - sqrt{R^2 - [(dpin/2)*sin(f)]^2}, only applicable for rounded edges
Av = 5.698 in.^2 Av = 2*{e+0.8*dpin*[1-cos(f)]-Z'}*t
P8 = 64.26 kips P8 = (0.7*Fu*Av) / (1.2*F.S.3)

Bearing Capacity of Lifting Lug (ASME Eqn. 3-54):


P9 = 7.56 kips P9 = (0.63*Fy*dpin*t) / F.S.3 <============= Controls

Summary:
Pallow = 7.56 kips Pallow = min(P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9)

Required Weld Strength for Vertical Load:


Pdesign = 11.34 kips Assuming fillet weld and F.S. = 5.0 against Fexx. Use Pdesign
to design welds using 0.3*Fexx*0.707*weld size. Could also use
Pallow, but need to use 0.2*Fexx*0.707*weld size for F.S. = 5.0.
