Tilt Wall Lifting Stress Analysis

Tilt Wall Lifting Stress Analysis

Tilt Wall Lifting Stress Analysis

(OP)
Hello can anyone give me some learning resources on Lifting stress for tilt panels, I have been searching a lot but I have been restricted to only one angle. How can I find stress at every sling angle. I have a lot of questions. Please give me some resources to read. I will learn by myself. Thank you!!

RE: Tilt Wall Lifting Stress Analysis

It's totally impractical to calculate lifting stresses by hand, if that's what you're talking about. Besides, the lifting hardware manufacturers offer lifting analysis & design for a pretty reasonable fee. They use their own proprietary software, which I believe is normally finite element-type analysis.

There is commercially available software out there as well. Inducta Engineering PanelsPlus and Tilt-Werks are two such examples. The ACI 551 Design Guide has a chapter on panel lifting, but it does not go into detail about the math... mostly basic concepts and what to look out for as the panel designer.

If you want more technical information, the only stuff I've ever seen published is by Elmer H. Payne, but it's pretty old. To let you know how old, at one point he wrote a DOS program to do the analysis (how many here remember DOS?).

Oh, yes... that new fangled operating system that came along about dozen years, or so after I learned how to write mainframe Fortran II programs (1967) on stacks of "IBM Cards", using a key punch machine. smile
