DESIGN OF LUG PLATE & PINS:

This lifting lugs has been designed to lift the load vertically i.e
lifting wire rope shall be truly vertical. However an inclination of 5
degrees with vertical in the plane of plate shall be acceptable
considering the site conditions.

Dimensions of Lug Plate & Load:

Maximum Load to be lifted by each Lugs W = 25.00 T OK
Type of lifting - Lifting wire rope shall be within 5 degree with vertical = Tendum Lifting
Thickness of Lug Plate tg = 25 mm
Width of Lug Plate B = 220 mm OK
Height of Lug Plate H = 220 mm OK
Radius of Lug plate R = 110 mm OK
Height of pin hole from base. (H/2) h = 110 mm
Diameter of Pin d = 50 mm
Diameter of Hole for Pin do = 52 mm
Size of weld s = 8 mm
Partial safety factor for Welds gmw = 1.25

Hook Plate Details:

Grade of plates IS:2062-2011 = E 250(Fe410W)A
Expected maximum thickness of plate = <40 mm
Ultimate strength of plate E 250(Fe410W)A -(<40) fu = 410 N/mm2
Yielding strengthof plate fy = 240 N/mm2
Partial safety factor for plate gmo = 1.1

Pin Details:
Grade of Pins = 6.8
Nominal diameter of Pins d = 50 mm
Ultimate strength of Pins fup = 600 N/mm2
Yield strength of Pins fyp = 480 N/mm2
Partial safety factor for Pins gmp = 1.25

Factored load Calculation:

Partial safety factor for Lifting load Table -4 gf = 1.5
Factored Load to be lifted = 25.00 x 10 x 1.5 Wf = 375 kN
Thickness of Lug Plate tg = 25 mm
Diameter of Pin Hole do = 52 mm
No. of shear plane on Pin ns = 2 Nos
Nominal area of Pin Asp = 1963 mm2
No. of shear planes. = 2 Nos

Check for Shear capacity of Pin:
Nominal shear capacity of Pin Vnsp = fup x ns.Asp = 600 x 2.0 x 1963 = 1360350 N
√3 √3
Design shear capacity of Pin Vdsp = Vnsp = 1360 = 1088 kN > 375.0 kN OK
gmp 1.25

Check for Bearing Strength of Pin against Lug Plate:

Calculation of kb, minimum of following values. kb = 0.455
e = 110 = 0.7051
3.do 156
p - 0.25 = 110 - 0.25 = 0.4551
3.do 156
fub = 600 = 1.4634
fu 410
Nominal bearing strength of Pin Vnpb = 2.5 x ( kb.d.t. fu)
= 2.5 x 0.455 x 50 x 25.0 x 410 = 583133 N
Design Bearing Strength of Pin, Vdpb = Vnpb = 583.13 = 466.5 kN > 375.0 Kn OK
gmb 1.25

Design of Lug Plate:

Net area of Lug Plate at Pin hole location = 25 x 220 - 52.0 = 4200 mm2
Design strength of Lug Plate Tdn = 0.9 x fu x An
gml
Tdn = 0.9 x 410.0 x 4200 = 1409 kN > 375.0 kN OK
1.1 x 1000

Check for edge distance:

Minimum edge distance shall be = 1.5 x 52.0 = 78.0 mm
Edge distance provided = 220 - 52.0 = 84.0 mm > 78.0 mm OK
2

Check for Shear Capacity (Shear Rupture) of Lug Plate:

Total area of shear planes Aw = 25 x 84.0 x 2 = 4200 mm2
Design shear strength of hook plate Vd = fy x Aw =
√3 x gml
= 240 x 4200 = 529.06 kN > 375.0 kN OK
1.7321 x 1.1

Design of weld:
Design strength of fillet weld fwd = fu
√3 x gmw
fwd = 410 = 189.37 N/mm2
1.7321 x 1.25
Strength of weld per unit length = 0.7 x 8.0 x 189.37 = 1060 N/mm
Length of weld required = 375 x 1000 = 353.61 mm
1060
Length of weld provided = 440.0 mm > 353.6 mm OK
