The Purpose of This Worksheet Is To Design The Stabbing Guides For The Piles Used in Gupkin MFP

This document summarizes the design of stabbing guides for piles used in a construction project. It provides material properties and parameters for the stabbing guide design. Design checks are performed to verify the guide can withstand the maximum bending stress of 4.782 MPa from a horizontal load, which is less than the allowable stress of 227.7 MPa, resulting in a positive design check.

Diameter D g := 961mm

Thickness t g := 20mm

4. DESIGN CHECKS FOR PILE STABBING GUIDE


The pile stabbing guide is checked against a horizontal load equal to 10% of the pile weight, which may
occur during the stabbing operation. The horizontal load is conservatively assumed to act at the bottom tip
of the stabbing guide. Since the stabbing operation is vertically straight, no other load needs to be
considered.

Lever arm of the horizontal load xg := 1500mm

Weight of the heaviest pile W g := 44.3tonnef

Moment on the stabbing guide section M g := 0.1  W g  xg = 65.165  kN  m
