	Can anyone advise me how to calculate the breaking point of a smit bracket ? what details i should pay attention to and most importantly how to calculate the relevent values. the towing bollard of the tug to be used has a capacity of 160 tons (i guess SWL but i am not sure i ll check later) the smit bracket on the barge has its two padeyes between the pin a little wide open, ie is they are not vertical ...as if some bending has occured. So i want to know if it can still hold the load without failing. any advise?

	already done a google search mate. thanks for wasting your time posting a reply telling me to do a google search. really appreciate it. anyways, this kind of question cant be answered here. the plates of the smit bracket had been bend. they need inspection by a third party agency or a case study to check and see whether this bend will deteriorate and fail with the tension applied. thanks anyways.
