Design of Welding Joint

A welded joint permanently joins metallic parts by fusing their edges together with or without a filler material. There are several types of welded joints including lap joints, butt joints, and combinations of transverse and parallel fillet welds. Joint design considers factors like plate dimensions, load amounts, and permissible stress levels to determine optimal weld lengths.

DESIGN OF WELDING JOINT

A welded joint is a permanent joint which is obtained by the fusion of the edges of the two parts
to be joined together, with or without the application of pressure and a filler material.
Welding is an economical and efficient method of obtaining a permanent joint of metallic parts.

Types of Welded Joints:


Lap joint or fillet joint:
The lap joint or the fillet joint is obtained by overlapping the plates and then welding the edges of the
plates. The cross-section of the fillet is approximately triangular

Butt Joint:
The butt joint is obtained by placing the plates edge to edge.

Strength of Transverse Fillet Welded Joints:


Strength of Parallel Fillet Welded Joints:
The parallel fillet welded joints are designed for shear strength.
Combination of transverse and parallel fillet weld

Q1. A plate 100 mm wide and 10 mm thick is to be welded to another plate by means of double
parallel fillets. The plates are subjected to static load of 80 kN. Find the length of weld if the
permissible shear stress in the weld does not exceed 55 MPa.
Axially Loaded Unsymmetrical Welded Sections:
Sometimes unsymmetrical sections such as angles, channels, T-sections etc., welded on the
flange edges are loaded axially. In such cases, the lengths of weld should be proportioned in such
a way that the sum of resisting moments of the welds about the gravity axis is zero.
Q. 200 × 150 × 10 mm angle is to be welded to a steel plate by fillet welds as
shown in Fig. 10.21. If the angle is subjected to a static load of 200 kN, find the
length of weld at the top and bottom. The allowable shear stress for static loading
may be taken as 75 MPa.
