Q.1
The permissible shear stress for the weldment illustrated is 20 kpsi. Estimate the load, F, that will cause
this stress in the weldment throat.
Q.2 A steel bar of thickness h is subjected to a bending force F. The vertical support is stepped such
that the horizontal welds are b1 and b2 long. Determine F if the maximum allowable shear stress is τallow.
Q.3 The attachment shown in the figure is made of 1018 HR steel 12 mm thick. The static force is 100 kN.
The member is 75 mm wide. Specify the weldment (give the pattern, electrode number, type of weld,
length of weld, and leg size).
Q.4 The attachment shown carries a static bending load of 12 kN. The attachment length, l1 , is 225 mm.
Specify the weldment (give the pattern, electrode number, type of weld, length of weld, and leg size).
Q.5 A vertical column of 1018 hot-rolled steel is 10 in wide. An attachment has been designed to the point
shown in the figure. The static load of 20 kip is applied, and the clearance a of 6.25 in has to be equaled or
exceeded. The attachment is also 1018 hot-rolled
1
steel, to be made from 2 -inch plate with weld-on
bosses when all dimensions are known. Specify the
weldment (give the pattern, electrode number, type
of weld, length of weld bead, and leg size). Specify
also the length l1 for the attachment.
Q.6 A 2-in dia. steel bar is subjected to the loading indicated. Locate and estimate the maximum shear stress
in the weld throat.
Q.7 Find the maximum shear stress in the throat of the weld metal in the figure.
Q.8 The figure shows a welded steel bracket loaded by a static force F. Estimate the factor of safety if the
allowable shear stress in the weld throat is 18 kpsi.
Q.9 Estimate the safe static load F for the weldment shown in the figure if an E6010 electrode is used and the
design factor is to be 2. The steel members are 1015 hot-rolled steel. Use conventional analysis.
Q.10 Determine the required fillet weld size for the bracket shown in fig below
Q.11 A circular bar is welded to a steel plate. The bar diameter d=2 in. Determine the size of weld
required.
