Ladder Rung Calc.

The document calculates the stress on ladder rungs to determine if a selected weld size is satisfactory. It provides the weight of the load, diameter of the rods, yield stress of the material, weld size parameters, and calculates the shear stress and allowable welding stress to verify the weld size is acceptable. It also includes equations for calculating maximum deflection of the rods due to vertical load and moment.
