Lifting is an important topic in many industries, such as construction, shipping, naval, and oil and gas industries.
Codes and standards give the safety of lifting components and operations vital importance, as lifting is a high-risk task and may cause a hazardous impact on human life.
Many standards of safety discuss the assurance of the safety of the lifting plan; other standards are specialized in the design of the components of the lifting systems (or lifting sets).
This course discusses the design of different types of handling tools for lifting systems, such as spreader beams, lifting beams, spreader frames, and lifting frames.
This course also covers the detailed design of the components of lifting systems, such as shackles, slings, and pad eyes.
Solved comprehensive examples are introduced to apply all of the concepts and knowledge of the course to real cases of lifting systems.
In this course, the structural design of the lifting systems is explained based on the AISC360-16, DNV-No.2.7-1-June 2013 standard (Det Norske Veritas), and European Standard EN 12079.
