Note: The Impact Factor is applied to the Forces acting on the Lug.
Primary Shear Stress in the Welds due to Shear Loads [Ssll]:
= sqrt( Fax2 + Ft2 + Fn2 )/(( 2 * wl + wb ) * tw )
= sqrt(230002+02+02)/((2*325.0+250.0)*12.7260)
= 200.82 kgf/cm
Shear Stress in the Welds due to Bending Loads [Sblf]:
= (Fn*(h-Yll_b)) *Yll/Ilc + (Fax*off *Yll/Ilc) + (Ft*off *Ylc/Ill)
= (0 *(866.000 -114.272 )) * 210.728/16046.571 +
(23000 *0.000 * 210.728/16046.571 ) +
(0 *0.000 * 212.726/45811.312 )
= 129.88 kgf/cm
Total Shear Stress for Combined Loads [St]:
= Ssll + Sblf
= 200.816 + 129.880
= 330.70 kgf/cm
Allowable Shear Stress for Combined Loads [Sta]:
= 0.4 * Yield * Occfac (AISC Shear Allowable)
= 0.4 * 2249 * 1.00
= 899.92 kgf/cm
Secondary Shear Stress in the Welds due to Shear Loads:
Unit Weld Polar Section Modulus [Uwsm]:
= (2*wl+w)^3/12-wl^2(wl+w)^2/(2*wl+w)
= 43593392.00 mm ^3
Loads on Welds due to Torsional Moment:
Shear Stress in Normal Direction [Fth]:
= Ft * ( h-(wl-Cent) ) * (wb/2) / Uwsm
= 27.95 kgf/mm
Shear Stress in Circumferential Direction [Ftv]:
= Ft * ( h-(wl-Cent) ) * Cent / Uwsm
= 50.17 kgf/mm
Primary Shear Stress [Fsv]:
= Ft / ( 2 * wl + w )
= 12.13 kgf/mm
Resultant Load on Weld Group [Fr]:
= sqrt( Fth^2 + ( Ftv+Fsv )^2 )
= sqrt( 27.9 (^2) + ( 50.2 + 12.1 )(^2) )
= 68.28 kgf/mm
Resultant Secondary Weld Stress [Fws]:
= Fr / Tweld
= 68.278/12.726
= 536.52 kgf/cm
Allowable Resultant Secondary Weld Stress [Psa]:
= 0.4 * Yield * Occfac
= 0.4 * 2249.8 * 1.000
= 899.92 kgf/cm
Shear Stress in Lug above Hole [Shs]:
= sqrt( Pl2 + Fn2 ) / Sha
= sqrt( 230002 + 02 )/150.000
= 153.34 kgf/cm
Allowable Shear Stress in Lug above Hole [Sas]:
= 0.4 * Yield * Occfac
= 0.4 * 2249 * 1.00
= 899.92 kgf/cm
Pin Hole Bearing Stress [Pbs]:
= sqrt(Pl2 + Fn2 ) / ( t * dh )
= sqrt( 230002 + 02 )/( 50.000 * 100.000 )
= 460.01 kgf/cm
Allowable Bearing Stress [Pba]:
= min( 0.75 * Yield * Occfac, 0.9 * Yield ) AISC Bearing All.

3
= min( 0.75 * 2249 * 1.00 , 2024.8 )
= 1687.35 kgf/cm
Bending Stress at the Base of the Lug [Fbs]:
= Fn*(h-wl)/(w*t^2 / 6) + Ft*(h-wl) / (w^2*t / 6)
= 0 *(866.000 - 325.000 )/(400.000 *50.000 (^2)/6) +
12641 *(866.000 - 325.000 )/(400.000 (^2) *50.000/6)
= 512.91 kgf/cm
Tensile Stress at the Base of the Lug [Fa]:
= Fax / (w * t)
= 2457/(400.000 * 50.000 )
= 12.29 kgf/cm
Total Combined Stress at the Base of the Lug:
= Fbs + Fa
= 512.9 + 12.3
= 525.20 kgf/cm
Lug Allowable Stress for Bending and Tension:
= min( 0.66 * Yield * Occfac, 0.75*Yield )
= min( 0.66 * 2249 * 1.00 , 1687.3 )
= 1484.87 kgf/cm
Required Shackle Pin Diameter [Spd]:
= sqrt[(2 * sqrt(Pl2 + Fn2)/( Pi * Sta))]
= sqrt[2 * sqrt(230002 + 02)/( Pi * 899 )]
= 40.3371 mm
