Question
A thick gusset plate is connected to the thick flange plate of an I-section using fillet welds on both sides as shown in the figure (not drawn to scale). The gusset plate is subjected to a point load of acting at a distance of from the flange plate. Size of fillet weld is .
The maximum resultant stress (in MPa, round off to 1 decimal place) on the fillet weld along the vertical plane would be ________
Correct answer
78 to 78.2
Solution
1.Weld properties:
Size . Throat thickness .Length of weld on each side . Total length .
2.Direct shear stress ():
3.Bending stress ():
4.Maximum resultant stress ():
Note: If equivalent stress is calculated as per IS 800:2007 (), the value is . Both interpretations are accepted in the key.Continue learning with Success Tracker
