Design Calculation

Members:
• WF 300 x 150 x 6.5 x 9
• Plate 20mm thk.
• Plate 9mm thk.
• Round Bar Ø 202mm mm
Materials:
• Use ASTM A36 to all members.
Mechanical Properties:
• Fy = 36 ksi = 36,000 psi
Factor of Safety (FS):
• 1:5
Allowable Stress (Fallw.):
• FS x 36 ksi = 7.2 ksi
Welds :
• E 70, where Fu = 70 ksi, Fwv = 0.3 x 70 ksi = 21 ksi
Designed SWL of Spreader Bar:
• 40 tonnes = 88,185 lbs
Weight (W):
• Wload = 40 tonnes = 88,185 lbs
• Wspre.bar = 529 kg = 1,166 lbs
Total Load (PTot):
• PTot = Wload + Wspre.bar = 88,185 lbs + 1,166 lbs = 89,351 lbs

Applying Loads:
From Fig.1. and drawing BPK-DWG-M-10-02,
BPK it is found that:
PTot = R1 + R2
R1=R2 = 44,675 lbs

Working Stresses Calculation at Different Locations:

• Working Stress at Padeye

Fig.2. Cross-section view of the Spreader Bar at Padeye loacation

For WF 300 x 150 x 6.5 x 9,

Ixx[1] = 173.2 in4
A[1] = 7.25 in2
For Padeye Plate,
Ixx[2] = ((0.79 x 0.983 x 2) ÷ 12) in4 = 0.1239 in4
A[2] = 1.548 in2
For Padeye,
Ixx[3] = ((2.48 x 2.523 x 4) ÷ 12) in4 = 13.229 in4
A[3] = 24.998 in2

Itot = Ixx[1] + Ixx[2] + Ixx[3] = 186.552 in4

Atot = A[1] + A[2] + A[3] = 33.796 in2
Sxc = Itot ÷ c = 186.552 in4 ÷ 14.84 in = 12.57 in3

Working Shear Stress (σ):

σ = Ptot ÷ Atot = 89,351 lbs ÷ 33.796 in2
= 2,643.8 psi
With Fallow. = 7.2 ksi = 7,200 psi, so; σ < Fallow.
The design at this location is Satisfactory.

Working Shear Stress at Padeye (σp):

P1 = Ptot ÷ 2 = 44,675.5 lbs
σp = P1 ÷ A[3] = 44,675.5 lbs ÷ 6.249 in2
= 7,148.5 psi
With Fallow. = 7.2 ksi = 7,200 psi, so; σ < Fallow.
The design at this location is Satisfactory.

Maximum Shear Stress (σN):

σN =    
σ┴
,
=  . 
σN
= 153.95 psi
τ┴
Therefore:

σ┴ = τ┴ =
√

So, Tensile Stress at Padeye Plate (σ┴):

σ┴ = τ┴ = 108.85 psi
Allowable Tensile Stress in this location;
Fwy. ≥ σ┴ , = Satisfactory
21,000 psi > 108.85 psi
So, welding in this location is Satisfactory.
