TITLE welded lifting lug DATE 09/11/17

FILE welded_connection_1.xls TIME 3:33 PM

DESCRIPTION

Note: The lifting lug shown above is used in lifting pipes for placement in the shaft of the water filtration plant.
Pipe wall thicknesses vary between 32 mm and 12 mm with variation in pipe weights. For this application it will be assumed that
the maximum force is as shown above and acts on the maximum pipe wall thickness.

INPUT
performance factor phiw = 0.67
load factor lf = 1.4
weld size ( leg ) ws = 10 mm
lug thickness tlug = 25 mm
lug length llength = 300 mm
wall thickness twall = 32 mm
applied force Vf = 212 kN
ultimate plate strength Fu = 0.45 kN/mm2
ultimate electrode strength Xu = 0.48 kN/mm2
angle of axis force/weld line theta = 45 degree

CALCULATIONS
min. plate thickness t = MIN(tlug,twall) = 25 mm
cross section plate Am = t*wlength = 15000 mm2
weld length wlengt = llength*2 = 600 mm
cross section weld Aw = ws*wlength = 6000 mm2
shear resistance base metal Vrfb = 0.67*phiw*Am*Fu = 3030.1 kN $13.13.2.2
shear resistance weld Vrfw = 0.67*phiw*Aw*Xu*(1+.5*SIN(RADIANS(= 1521.4 kN $13.13.2.2
resulting shear resistance Vrf = MIN(Vrfb,Vrfw) = 1521.4 kN $13.13.2.2

design efficiency (<1 = o.k.) de = Vrf/(Vf*lf) = 5.1
