CE 415: Design of Steel Structures

This document discusses guidelines for welds in steel structures. It states that if the plate thickness is less than 1/4 inches, the maximum weld thickness should equal the plate thickness, but if the plate thickness is 1/4 inches or greater, the maximum weld thickness should be the plate thickness minus 1/16 inches, with a minimum weld thickness of 1/4 inches. It also notes that the effective throat size of a fillet weld equals 0.707 times the size of the weld.

Welds
(a) If plate thickness t < 1/4”,
then maximum weld thickness,
a(max)= t
(b) If plate thickness t >= 1/4”,
then a(max) = t - 1/16” and
a(min) = 1/4”
Fillet Weld

Effective throat size, te = 0.707a, where a = size of weld.
