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.
