This document provides design specifications and calculations for supporting legs on a vessel. It specifies materials, dimensions, loads, and stresses. Calculations are shown to determine the required thicknesses of various support components, including the top plate, bottom plate, and gusset plates, to withstand an operating force of 8,876.3 N on each of 4 lugs, while ensuring stresses do not exceed allowable values. Dimensions and material properties are given for bolts as well.
