WELDED CONNECTIONS

Eg 4) A welded connection is shown in figure. An A36 steel plate is used with Fy = 248
MPa. Size of fillet weld is 8 mm. Use E70 Electrode with Fu = 485 MPa.
a) Compute the capacity of the connection shown using SMAW process.
b) Compute the capacity of the connection shown using SAW process

Eg 5) A 150mm x 90 mm x 12mm angular section is welded to a gusset plate having a
thickness of 12 mm. An A36 steel is used with a yield stress of 248 MPa, with an E70
electrodes fillet welds with Fu = 485 MPa.

Properties of L 150 mm x 90 mm x 12 mm
A = 2903 mm2
y = 52.83 mm

a) Compute the design force P from tension of the section.

b) Compute for “a” using dynamic method of analysis.
c) Compute for the value of “b” using dynamic method of analysis.
