6. Demand Capacity Ratio

The Demand–Capacity Ratio (DCR) which is defined as the ratio of the demand/capacity,
which is QUD/QCE (resulting actions/expected strength) as a benchmark to determine the
failure of major structural members by the linear static analysis procedure. Allowable DCR
ratio is 1.0.

7. Lifting Lug Adequecy Check

Lifting Lug Calculation Details for 75kN load
The total load of the letter is 75kN. Total hooking point of lifting lug is 1. So the hooking
point will carry total load i.e. 75kN by one lifting lug. So first we will calculate the capacity of
lifting lug & then we will calculate the welding strength on main member's plate which is
connected to lifting lug.
All the equations & calculation is based on ASME BTH-1-2017 Standard.

1) DESIGN CHECK FOR LIFTING LUG:

A) Tensile Strength
Nominal Tensile strength through the pinhole of Lifting Lug,

(ASME BTH-1-2017, Eqn. 3-45)

Where,
beff = effective width to each side of the pinhole

(ASME BTH-1-2017, Eqn. 3-46)

The effective width shall be taken as the smaller of the values calculated as follows:

a) , which should be less than or equal to (ASME BTH-1-

2017, Eqn. 3-47)

b) , which should be less than or equal to

(ASME BTH-1-2017, Eqn. 3-48)

So

Nominal Tensile strength through the pinhole of Lifting Lug,

B) Fracture Strength

The Nominal single plane fracture strength beyond the pinhole is

(ASME BTH-1-2017, Eqn. 3-49)

where, R = distance from the center of the hole to the edge of the plate in the direction of
the applied load
