Disclaimer

The Spreadsheet has been designed without liability with the intention of
assisting in the calculation of track bearing pressures for use in the BRE
Design Method[1]. The Spreadsheet contains sample data, which are
intended only to illustrate how the Spreadsheet may be operated, and do not
represent any specific rig .

The Spreadsheet is intended for use only by a competent person. It is

intended to assist in calculating the track loadings that occur with the rig
working on a flat horizontal surface with a vertical mast it makes no
allowance for the effects on track loadings caused by raking the mast in any
direction, or non-vertical suspended loads.

Extraction Line Pull +ve Z direction. Enter applied force (kN) in appropriate yellow box (G9). Note the maximum design force in the adjacent box (FH9).
Penetration Force -ve Z direction. Enter applied force (kN) in appropriate yellow box (G10) - must be negavtive as it imposes an upwards resultant force. Note the maximum design force in the adjacent box (H10).
Slewing Foot Pad Forces +ve Z direction. Enter applied total force (kN) in appropriate yellow boxes (G12 to G15). Note the maximum the machine can develop is given in the adjacent boxes.
Non-Slewing Foot Pad Forces -ve Z direction. Enter applied total force (kN) in appropriate yellow boxes (G20 to G23). Note the maximum the machine can develop is given in the adjacent boxes.

Fill in values in all yellow boxes appropriate for this mode -

Net extraction or penetration force is the applied value minus the weight of any rope / kelly / chain suspended equipment.
By trial and error, adjust Foot Pad Forces to eliminate "error" messages and equalise bearing pressures on both tracks and foot pads (highlighted in red boxes).
When applying Auxilliary or Extraction Line Pull, ensure that Penetration Force is zero.

Penetration Force -ve Z direction. Enter applied force (kN) in appropriate yellow box (G10) - must be negavtive as it imposes an upwards resultant force. Note the maximum design force in the adjacent box (H10).
Slewing Foot Pad Forces +ve Z direction. Enter applied total force (kN) in appropriate yellow boxes (G12 to G15). Note the maximum the machine can develop is given in the adjacent boxes.
Non-Slewing Foot Pad Forces -ve Z direction. Enter applied total force (kN) in appropriate yellow boxes (G20 to G23). Note the maximum the machine can develop is given in the adjacent boxes.

Fill in values in all yellow boxes appropriate for this mode -

Net extraction or penetration force is the applied value minus the weight of any rope / kelly / chain suspended equipment.
By trial and error, adjust Foot Pad Forces to eliminate "error" messages and equalise bearing pressures on both tracks and foot pads (highlighted in red boxes).
When applying Auxilliary or Extraction Line Pull, ensure that Penetration Force is zero.
