Rigging Engineering Calculations

This volume is a “how-to” resource for many of the calculations required in rigging operations and is intended to complement “Rigging Engineering Basics” or can be used stand-alone.

Topics Include:

• Verify a lift beam or spreader
• Calculate sag and tension in a suspended line
• Calculate lashing forces in a transport arrangement
• Determine if a barge is stable
• Calculate suspension forces in complex arrangements
• Assess wind forces
• Design a crane matting arrangement
• Determine crushing forces in a wrapped basket hitch
• and, much more.

In (relatively) simple language, principles are explained, formulae are derived and applied with worked examples in both US customary and metric units. Those who simply need a look-up reference for a formula can use the book in that way. For those who really need to get into depth, references are made to useful standards and other resources.
