The document provides formulas and calculations for determining forces on welded joints. It defines symbols used such as tension load (P), weld length (Aw), and allowable load per weld leg area (f). Formulas are given for calculating tension on fillet welds based on load and weld length, as well as calculating bending and shear forces based on moment, section modulus, shear, and weld length. An example calculation is shown applying the formulas to determine a required 1/4 inch fillet weld size based on the given load values and allowable load per weld leg area.

DESIGN OF WELDED JOINTS
DEFINITION OF SYMBOLS Tension load P = 20 kips. Length of weld Aw = 8.5 in. Allowable load on weld per leg-area f = 9.6 kips/in² Cleat outer distance from weld L = 3 in.
Bending moment M = kips
Allowable concentrated axial load, P = kips Section modulus of weld lines subjected Sw = to bending moment, in² Vertical shear V = kips Fillet weld leg dimension w = in. Load on fillet weld. W = kips/in. Average vrtical shear on fillet weld, Ws = kips/in. Bending force on weld Wb = kips/in.
