Sheet 3 Solution

This document contains 3 problems related to designing welding joints. Problem 1 calculates the maximum tensile load that can be applied to two steel plates connected by parallel fillet welds using E60 series welding rods and a safety factor of 3. Problem 2 determines the required weld size for a given configuration using a welding rod with a yield strength of 345 MPa and a safety factor of 2.5. Problem 3 calculates the weld size needed to support a load of 60 kN applied equally to both sides of a bracket, using the same welding rod and a safety factor of 3.0.

Sheet 3 – Design of Welding Joints


Problem 1
Two steel plates with Sy = 50 ksi are attached by parallel-loaded fillet welds,
as shown in Figure P11.9. E60 series welding rods are used, and good
welding practice is followed. Each of the welds is 3 in. long. With a safety
factor of 3, what maximum tensile load can be applied?

Figure 1.

Givens:
Sy = 50 ksi (pound per square inch)=344.73 Mpa
h=0.375 in =9.525 mm f.o.s=3
Problem 2
Determine the required weld size for Figure 2 using a welding rod of (Sy =
345 MPa) and a safety factor of 2.5 based on yielding.
Take h= 13 mm
Problem 3
The bracket shown in Figure 3 is to support a total load (equally divided
between the two sides) of 60 kN. Using a welding rod of (Sy = 345 MPa) and
a safety factor of 3.0, what size weld should be specified?
