For items a. and b. above, any greater thickness proposed will be assumed to act as a spacer above.
2.2.3 The hole, diameter d, through the padeye should be finish machined after welding the cheek
plates to ensure a uniform bearing surface.
2.3 Load, directions of action.
2.3.1 Loading direction definitions are shown in Fig.2.
2.4 Padeye strength.
2.4.1 The allowable axial force on the padeye is the least of the following values where Fy is the
S.M.Y.S.:Shear = 0.60 (atl + 2 bte ) Fy
Bearing =
2.4.2 The pin should be a reasonable fit in the hole, see fig.1 that is (d HOLE/d PIN) < 1,05. Should
a greater clearance be required the padeye may be treated as a curved beam under the action of a
concentrated force, or of a force acting over a small area.
2.4.3 The cheek plate welds should be checked for the proportion of the applied force carried by the
cheek plates based on the ratio of actual thickness and normally including half of the total weld
length.
If it should be necessary to utilise all of the weld length then the tension should be repeated with half
the cheek plate forces being transferred through the basic lug section.
2.4.4 Transverse and Oblique Forces should normally be dealt with where possible by re-orientation
of the lug axis to bring the forces coincident with the lug axis to bring the forces coincident with the
lug axis and then using the corresponding geometry relative to the new axis. If this technique is not
possible the padeye should be given special consideration.
2.4.5 Lateral Force. This force will normally determine the design sections of the padeye remote
from the region of the cheek plates. In the absence of a specific lateral force a value of 5% of the
design padeye sling force should be assumed to be acting at the edge of the pin hole, concurrently
with the axial force.
