Lug DesignR3a

This document summarizes the design of lifting lugs according to reference material on designing lifting beams. It provides the load calculations and geometry checks for a lifting lug designed to handle a 5.5 kip unfactored lifting load with a safety factor of 5. The calculations show the lug meets the capacity requirements for tensile rupture, bearing capacity, tension tear out to the edge of the plate, and shear yielding to the edge of the plate.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

Hole is large enough for pin. Plate proportions are correct. Use full value of a. Plate proportions are correct. Plate proportions are correct. Plate proportions are correct.

Capacity Checks: Pf (kips) = 17.40 Tensile Rupture of Lug. Pp (kips) = N/A Bearing Capacity of Pin on Hole. Pe (kips) = 9.02 Tension Tear Out to Edge of Plate Ps (kips) = 6.48 Shear Yielding to Edge of Plate
