Design load considered 497431 N

(Safe working load + Beam Wt.)

Design Basis
Code ASME BTH-1 ED.2014
Category B-Unpredictable load
Service Class 0
Number of cycles 20000 (for 20 years)
Nominal Design factor (Nd) 1.5 for Beam
Nominal Design factor (Nd) 2.4 for Connections

FATIGUE ANALYSIS IS NOT REQUIRED AS NO. OF CYCLES ARE NOT ABOVE 20000

Assumptions
1) Bending is considered in Y-Y direction
2) Buckling is considered in Z-Z direction
3) Beam not designed for fatigue
4) Assuming a close fit between shackle pin and hole in the bracket
5) MOC for Brackets - SA 516 Gr.70 & MOC for Beam - SA / IS 2062 Gr. EB 250
6) Yield stress considered for 40 deg C
7) Allowable deflection = L / 325 = 9.23 mm
Forces and Moment in the Beam and Rope
1)
Angle, ɵ = 35 deg
0.6109 radian

Vertical component of load P is balanced by the Design load/2

P x sin A = 497431 N

Therefore, Tension in the Sling (Equipment to Spreader Beam), P

P = 607251 N

Angle, B = 35 deg
0.6109 radian

Tension in the Sling (Spreader Beam to Hook), T

T = 867098 N

2) Horizontal component of P induces a compressive force and the component of W/2 induces tensile force in beam, Hence,
C in spreader beam
P x sin ɵ = C N
Therefore, C = 1420491 N
And Tensile force in Beam = 1058550 N Tensile stress
Allowable
3) Bending Moment, Mb
Enter position of Top Lugs from Mid point of Beam = 900 mm

Mb = 233779495 N.mm
Check for Stresses induced

1) Check for Compression

Check whether the member is compact as per Table 3-2.2.1

a) Flanges of I-shaped beam shall have a ratio b/t < 0.38 x (E / Fy)^0.5
b/t = 11.43
Actual b/t ratio = 10.00 Condition is satisfied

b) Web in combined flexural and axial compression shall have a ratio h/t < mentioned in Table 3-2.2.1
h/t = 67.68
Ratio Nd x fa / Fy = 0.3214
= 13.14 (For Ratio Nd x fa / Fy <= 0.125)
= 67.68 (For Ratio Nd x fa / Fy > 0.125)

Actual h/t ratio = 27.50 Condition is satisfied

BEAM IS COMPACT

Enter value of Cc = 133.67

Enter value of k depending on end condition

k = 1
Slenderness Ratio, Kl/r = 35.64 Length for Buckling (mm
Factor of safety considered, Nd = 1.5

Allowable compressive stress = 134.23 N/mm2 For kl/r < Cc

= 900.89 N/mm2 (If kl/r ratio > Cc)

= 134.23 N/mm2 (If kl/r ratio <= Cc)

Induced Compressive stress, fa = 47.35 N/mm2

Safety Margin = 2.83 SAFE

2) Check for Bending stresses

Allowable Bending stress 147.33 N/mm2

Radius of gyration of a section comprising flange and 1/3 of Web and taken about an axis in the plane of the web,
rT
Radius of gyration of a section comprising flange and 1/3 of Web and taken about an axis in the plane of the web,
rT
rT = mm

Laterally unbraced length, Lr = 0 mm

Maximum unbraced length, Lp = mm

Induced Bending stress 57.43 N/mm2

Safety Margin = 2.565 SAFE

3) Check for Shear stress

Allowable shear stress = 85.06 N/mm2

Induced Shear stress = 23.7 N/mm2

Safety Margin = 3.593 SAFE

4) Check for combined Axial and bending stress

Ratio fa/Fa = 0.353

Equation 3-29, 3-30 and 3-31 shall be satisfied

Value Cm = Cmx = Cmy = 1

= 0.955 (Eq. 3-29)

= 900.89 N/mm2

= 0.919 (Eq. 3-30)

= 0.743 (Eq. 3-31)
