Shear capacity of lifting hole (Pv) = 0.6xPyxAv
Av = 40x16
= 640mm2
Pv = 0.6x250x640
= 96000 N
= 96 kN > 73.575 kN (7.5 ton)
Design of weld
Use 6mm fillet weld
Length of weld = 450mm

C) Design of lifting frame (Longitudinal middle beam 1)

Use 152mmx152mmx37.0kg/m I beam section

 Area of section Ao = 4710mm2
Elastic modulus Z = 273 cm3
Mass per Metre = 37.0 kg/m (or) 0.37 kN/m
Use this beam to lift 1.05m width plank up to 5.2m length
