Concrete Embedded Lifting Anchor Design
Concrete Embedded Lifting Anchor Design
(OP)
I am designing an embed for picking a precast panel. Could someone please help clarify if I am ok to design this with LRFD factors or am I required to use OSHA's minimum 5:1 (or is it 4:1) FOS? I know OSHA applies to rigging, fall protection, etc., but does it apply to the design of my lifting anchorage?
Thanks

However it is pertinent that these "ordinary" and optimized safety factors need be combined with accurate design as proper of industrial work, to be repeated a lot of times. Careless design/construction of insets, eyelets, cables on these safety factors may signify disgusting surprises. So when designing these items circumstantially be very cautious, preferably following applicable example or guide from expert people.

Seen it happen several times on tilt-up slabs. Lug design was 'off' and the concrete company cast them just like the engineer drew them.
