If its obvious that a lug hole has worn from round to oval by more than 10% - then dont use the lug. Note that pure axial loading and pure transverse loading are special cases of oblique loading where only one load component is non-zero. ASME BTH-1 specifies design calculations for different types of loading of a lifting device including tension, compression, flexure, shear and combined loading of beams. This is the documentation page for the Bolted Flange Design module. The spreadsheet has the following input/features: 1.) AISC Lifting Lug - ExcelCalcs The bearing widths for the male and female lugs are the widths over which the pin loads are supported: Because the bearing widths are smaller than the full lug thicknesses, the moment arm is reduced and the pin ultimate bending load is increased: In the balanced design, the ultimate joint load is equal to the pin ultimate bending load: Note that the same joint strength would be achieved if the width of each female lug was reduced to b1 = and the width of the male lug reduced to 2b2 =. Ab is an effective area that is calculated as: where R is the edge distance, Dh is the hole diameter, be is the net width, and t is the lug thickness. AS4991 is often the best fit.
