This document (CEN/TR 15728:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 229 “Precast concrete products”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. To ensure the performance of the precast concrete products, lifting and handling should be taken into account in the design of the product. Inserts are used for lifting and handling of precast elements. They should meet an appropriate degree of reliability. They should sustain all actions and influences likely to occur during execution and use. This Technical Report deals with all lifting inserts cast into precast concrete elements i.e. lifting parts developed and produced at the precasting plant as well as lifting inserts as part of a system supplied by a manufacturer of lifting systems. The intent of this document is to give information to precast product designers.
The failure of inserts for lifting and handling could cause risk to human life and/or lead to considerable economic consequences. Therefore inserts for lifting and handling should be selected and installed properly by skilled personnel.
This Technical Report based on current practices gives recommendations for correct choice and design of lifting inserts according to the lifting capacity of their part embedded in the concrete. It is based on EN 1992-1-1 (Eurocode 2) and on published supplier’s data.
In the Technical Report numerical values for partial safety factors are recommended as basic values that provide an acceptable level of reliability. They have been selected assuming that an appropriate level of workmanship and of quality management (Factory Production Control) applies. They may be applied in the absence of national regulations.
