1. A parallel loaded welded lap joint is shown in the figure. The steel is A 36 (Fy = 248
MPa, Fu = 400 MPa) and the electrode used is E 70 (Fu = 484 MPa). Using SMAW
process and ASD & LRFD method,

a. Determine the tensile capacity of the plate.


b. Determine the length L
c. Determine the block shear strength in the gusset plate.

2. A channel section is welded to a 9 mm gusset plate. Welding is not permitted on the


back of the channel.
Fy = 248 MPa, Fu = 400 MPa for the channel
Fv = 146 MPa (shear stress of weld)
Width of slot weld = 22 mm
Length of slot = 34 mm
Properties of channel
Ag = 4750 mm2 d = 245 mm tw = 13.0 mm

a. Determine the tensile capacity of the channel


b. Determine the force to be resisted by the slot weld
c. Determine the maximum length of slot as prescribed by the code.

3. The vertical member consisting of two unequal leg angles with long legs back to back
are welded to the 8 mm thick gusset plate.
Angle size = 75 mm x 50 mm x 6 mm thick
Area of two angles = 1535 mm2
Weld thickness = 5 mm
Allowable weld stress, Fv = 124 MPa
Steel yield stress, Fy = 248 MPa
a. What is the length of the weld L2 so that its fillet weld is equally stressed in shear
(dynamic loading) due to its capacity?
b. What is the length of the weld L2 for static loading due to its capacity?
c. If instead of welding 4 bolts are used, determine the minimum diameter of bolt if
the allowable stress of bolt is 117 MPa.

4. The welded connection shows an angular section 125 mm x 125 mm x 18 mm is


welded to a column by a fillet weld. All steel is A 36 (Fy = 250 MPa, Fu = 400 MPa). E 70
electrode is used with Fu = 485 MPa.

a. Determine the force on the weld due to the torsional moment in N/mm.
b. Determine the maximum resultant force in N/mm to be resisted by the fillet welds.
c. Determine the size of the fillet weld.
