Eccentric connection
The two types of eccentrically loaded connections are shown in figure 1 these are:
1. The torsion joints with the load in the plane of the weld
2. The bracket connection.
In both cases the fillet welds are in shear due to direct load and moment.

Figure 1: eccentrically loaded connections


1. torsion joint with load in plane of weld:
A rectangular weld group is shown in figure 2, where the eccentric load P is taken
on one plate. The weld is of unit leg length throughout:
Direct shear = ⁄ ℎ
= /[2( + )]
Shear due to torsion = ⁄

Where =polar moment of inertia of the weld group
= +
= ⁄6 + ⁄2
= ⁄6 + ⁄2
.
r=0.5( + )

Figure 2: torsion joints load in plane of weld


The resultant shear on a unit length of weld at A is given by:
.
= + +2 ∅

If the weld is made on three sides only, as shown in figure 2(c), the center of
gravity of the group is found first by taking moments about side BC:
x = x /(2x + y)
= /12 + /2
= /6 + 2 ( /2 − ) +
The above procedure can be applied.
2. bracket connection:
The bracket in figure 3(a) is connected by fillet welds to the column flange. The
flange welds have a throat thickness of unity and the web welds a throat thickness q,
a fraction of unity. Assume rotation about the centroid axis XX. Then:
Weld length L= 2 + 2
Moment of inertia = /2 + /6
Direct shear = /
Load due to moment = /2
.
Resultant load =( + )
In a second assumption rotation takes place about the bottom flange .
The flange welds resist moment and welds shear. In this case:
= /
= /2
The fabricated T-section bracket is shown in figure 3(b). the moment is assumed to
be resisted by the flange weld and a section of the web in compression of depth y,
as shown in the figure. Shear is resisted by the web welds.
The bracket and weld dimensions and internal forces resisting moment are shown in
the figure. The web area in compression is ty. Equating moments gives:
P. e= T(d−2y/3)= c(d−2y/3)
C= 1⁄2 ty=T
P .e =1⁄2 t y(d− 2 ⁄3)

Solve the quadratic equation for y and calculate C

The flange weld force =

The web weld force = /2( − )


The calculations are simplified if the bracket is assumed to rotate about the
= /

Figure3: Bracket connection
Example 1:
One side plate of an eccentrically loaded connection is shown in figure 4(a). the plate
is welded on three sides only. Find the maximum shear force in the weld and select
a suitable fillet weld.

Example (2) bracket connection:
Determine the size of fillet weld required for the bracket connection shown in
figure 5 below. The web welds are to be taken as one half the leg length of the
flange welds. All dimensions and loads are shown in the figure.
