Question
A fillet weld is simultaneously subjected to factored normal and shear stresses of 120 MPa and 50 MPa, respectively. As per IS 800 : 2007, the equivalent stress (in MPa, up to two decimal places) is ______
Correct answer
147.5 to 148.5
Solution
According to IS 800:2007, the equivalent stress () for a fillet weld subjected to normal stress () and shear stress () is given by the formula:Given:
Factored normal stress, MPa
Factored shear stress, MPaCalculation:Rounding to two decimal places, the equivalent stress is 147.99 MPa, which falls within the accepted range of 147.50 to 148.50.
Factored normal stress, MPa
