Select this option to perform the tailing lug analysis.

The design is based on a lift position where bending does not occur on the tailing lug. The main considerations for the design are the section modulus, shear, and bearing stress at the pin hole and the weld strength.

The location of the center of the pin hole will be assumed radially at the edge of the outer most of the top ring or the base ring, whichever is larger. In the absence of the top ring/plate the height of the tailing lug is required. The tailing lug is assumed to be the same material as the gusset or base ring. Note that all input fields pertain to one tail lug.
