Spreadsheet Description: Visit: http://www.mec-engineering-spreadsheets.com/
The spreadsheet has the purpose to verify the welding connection using standard technical literature and Eurocode norms.
The aim is to offer a design tool both for fast and detailed calculation of a welded joint.
This spreadsheet consists of different worksheets, described as follows:
Anyway for some cases it is more easy to calculate the stresses calculated in the overturned throat (b). This simplifica
"Norme Tecniche di Costruzione" 2008.
In this case the condition is
√(n┴2 + t┴ 2+ t//2) ≤ fyk b1
|n┴| + |t┴ | ≤ fyk b2
where
fyk : material yield stress
b1 and b2 depends by the materials.
The sheet gives the possibility to change material values with respect to the ones in the Eurocode.
In this case it is possible to change the fy, fu and b parameters in the tables close to the interested section, in the cells
In this case it is responsibility of the designer to insert the appropriate values for the parameters.
Welding full penetration NOT AVAILABLE
The worksheet reports the general condition for full penetration welding case as per Eurocode norms EN 1933 1-8.
In a full penetration welding (butt welding), the joint resistance is equal to the weakest material component, if it is satis
In the worksheet it is verified if this condition is true.
It is needed to insert the dimensional parameters of the welding.

Welding at shear
The worksheet reports some fillet welding cases of plates subjected to shear forces.
The verification uses the stresses in the throat section (as per EN 1933 1-8 ) or in the overturned section (as per NTC

Welding in tension
The worksheet reports some fillet welding cases of plates subjected to tension force.
The verification uses the stresses in the throat section as per EN 1933 1-8.
