Lifting Lug Repad Square Root Rule?

Lifting Lug Repad Square Root Rule?

Lifting Lug Repad Square Root Rule?

(OP)
Is there a "square root rule" in an industry standard or Sec. VIII concerning the dimensions at which it is no longer necessary to keep making a repad larger for a lifting lug to reduce the stress in the repad edge to shell weld. For example, say I have a 10" x 1" lug and the loadings on the lug require a 24" x 15" repad to meet the allowable stress. Is there a square root rule that specifies a length in each direction at which the stress on the repad edge weld can be ignored?

In normal situations where such a large repad is required, I would normally just use a trunnion design; however, trunnions are not applicable here since rotation is required around the vessel's center axis.

Thank you in advance for your response.

No sq. Root can accurate give the required strength' we now use what is called software there you can use a large part or smaller with calculated re-pad.....
