Lifting Lug Design SKU: 106092


The spreadsheet verifies some configurations of lifting lugs and padeyes. Different worksheets are reported for a complete verification of common configurations.

The verification is performed considering the following reference:

"Design and Construction of Lifting Beams"  David T. Ricker, PE, AISC Engineering Journal, Fourth Quarter/1991 and its updating to 2005 AISC Manual of Steel Construction

"Rules for Classification and Construction Industrial Services IV" Germanischer Lloyd Aktiengesellschaft  Edition 2007

Eurocode 3 1993-1-8:2005

Norme Tecniche delle Costruzioni NTC 2008

The following verification and cases are reported:

Lug subjected to vertical and sloped applied load

Design of a lifting lug with overlapping plate joint to sloped force

Design of a lifting padeye with stiffeners

Checks of the geometry of the lug

Verification of the failure modes of the lug: Tensile Rupture of Lug, Bearing Capacity of Pin on Hole, Shear Yielding to Edge of Plate, Tension Tear Out to Edge of Plate

Calculus and verification of the stresses on the loaded sections due to tension, shear, bending and torsion moment

Welding verification between lug and the bottom plate. Two dimensioning cases: fillet welding, full penetration welding

Additional verifications are performed using standard technical literature and Eurocode norms.
