Design of Lifting Lugs

Reference: Design and Construction of Lifting Beams


David T. Ricker, PE, AISC Engineering Journal
Fourth Quarter/1991

Updated to 2005 AISC Manual of Steel Construction

Designed By:

P= 5.5 kips. Unfactored Lifting Load


S.F. = 5 Safety Factor
dp = 0.75 in. Diameter of pin in shackle
dh = 1.5 in. Diameter of hole in lug.
a= 1.5 in
e= 1.5 in
t= 0.5 in. Plate Thickness, 1/2" min.
Fy = 36 ksi. Plate yield stress.
Fu = 58 ksi. Plate ultimate stress.

Geometry Checks:
dh>dp+1/16? Yes Hole is large enough for pin.
a>=2t? Yes Plate proportions are correct.
a<=2t+.63" Yes Use full value of a.
a>=dh/2? Yes Plate proportions are correct.
t>=1/2"? Yes Plate proportions are correct.
e>=0.67dh? Yes Plate proportions are correct.

Capacity Checks:
Pf (kips) = 17.40 Tensile Rupture of Lug. O.K.
Pp (kips) = N/A Bearing Capacity of Pin on Hole. O.K.
Pe (kips) = 9.02 Tension Tear Out to Edge of Plate O.K.
Ps (kips) = 6.48 Shear Yielding to Edge of Plate O.K.
