Example problem related to welded butt joint:
(1) A gas tank consists of a cylindrical shell of 2.5 m inner diameter. It is enclosed by
hemispherical shells by means of butt welded joint as shown in Figure. The thickness
of the cylindrical shell as well as the hemispherical cover is 12 mm. Determine the
allowable internal pressure to which the tank may be subjected, if the permissible
tensile stress in the weld is 85N/mm2 . Assume efficiency of the welded joint as 0.85.

Example problem related to parallel fillet welds:

(2) A steel plate, 100 mm wide and 10 mm thick, is welded to another steel plate by
means of double parallel fillet welds as shown in Figure. The plates are subjected to a
static tensile force of 50 kN. Determine the required length of the welds if the
permissible shear stress in the weld is 94 N/mm2

Example problem related to transverse and double parallel fillet welds:

(3) A plate, 75 mm wide and 10 mm thick, is joined with another steel plate by means
of single transverse and double parallel fillet welds, as shown in Figure. The joint is
subjected to a maximum tensile force of 55 kN. The permissible tensile and shear
stresses in the weld material are 70 and 50 N/mm2 respectively. Determine the
required length of each parallel fillet weld.

Example problem related to axially loaded unsymmetric welded joint:
(4) How much length of a 10 mm fillet weld is required to weld the long side of an ISA
angle 150 ∗ 75 ∗ 10 to a steel plate with side welds only? A static load of 125 kN acts
through the centre of gravity of the angle section which is 53.2 mm from the short
side. The allowable load per mm of the weld length is 665 N.

Example problem related to Eccentric loaded weld joint:

(5) A welded connection, as shown in Figure is subjected to an eccentric force of 7.5


kN. Determine the size of welds if the permissible shear stress for the weld is 100
N/mm2 . Assume static conditions.

Example problem related to welded joint subjected to bending moment:

as shown in Figure. Determine the size of the welds, if the permissible shear stress in
the weld is limited to 75 N/mm2 .

Example problem related to welded joint subjected to bending moment:

(7) A circular beam, 50 mm in diameter, is welded to a support by means of a fillet


weld as shown in Figure. Determine the size of the weld, if the permissible shear stress
in the weld is limited to 100 N/mm2 .

Example problem related to welded joint subjected to torsional moment:
(8) A circular shaft, 50 mm in diameter, is welded to the support by means of
circumferential fillet weld as shown in Figure. It is subjected to torsional moment of
2500 N-m. Determine the size of the weld, if the permissible shear stress in the weld is
limited to 140 N/mm2 .

Example problem related to welded joint subjected to fluctuating load:

(9) Two plates, 25 mm thick, are welded together by means of a reinforced butt weld
and subjected to a completely reversed axial load of 100 kN as shown in Figure. The
throat of the weld is 25 mm. The ultimate tensile strength of the weld metal is 450
N/mm2 . The surface finish of the weld is equivalent to that of the forged component
and the reliability is 90%. Determine the length of the weld if the factor of safety is 2.
