Weld Check: I. Connection Properties Bridge ID

The document provides calculations to check the capacity and fatigue of a fillet weld connecting a headstock bottom stiffener plate. It determines the stresses in the weld from applied forces and moments. The nominal capacity of the fillet weld is calculated to be 230.4 MPa, which exceeds the design stresses of 67.9 MPa, giving a utilization of 29.5% and a factor of safety of 3.4. The fatigue check calculates the characteristic stress ranges in the weld as 19.76 MPa and 17.49 MPa for perpendicular and longitudinal stresses. These are below the fatigue strength of 93.75 MPa, giving utilization ratios of 21.1% and 18.7%, confirming
