Steel Design: Steel Connections - Welded Connections

Here are the key steps to solve this problem: 1) Shear stress due to load alone - Load (P) = 30 kN - Effective weld area (Aw) = 8 x L = 8 x 100 = 800 mm^2 - Shear stress (fv) = P/Aw = 30,000/800 = 37.5 N/mm^2 2) Shear stress due to moment - Moment (T) = 20 kN-m - Distance from shear plane to neutral axis (d) = 50 mm - Shear stress (fv) = T/Z = 20,000/500 = 40 N/mm^2 3) Maximum shear stress

Steel Connections – Welded Connections

Ronel E. Romero, RCE, MCE


Instructor
President Ramon Magsaysay State University
Introduction
Connections of structural steel members are of critical importance.
An inadequate connection, which can be the “weak link” in a
structure, has been the cause of numerous failures.

Failure of structural members is rare; most structural failures are the


result of poorly designed or detailed connections.

Modern steel structures are connected by welding , rivets or bolting


(either high-strength or “common” bolts) or by a combination of
both.
Introduction
Arc Welding is a general term for the many processes that uses
electrical energy in the form of an electric arc to generate the heat
necessary for welding.
TYPES OF WELDING (Refer to page 125)

SAW Submerged Arc Welding
GMAW Gas Metal Arc Welding
FMAW Flux Metal Arc Welding

Fillet Welds

Balanced Weld Group

If all these welds are equal-leg fillet and have the


To avoid eccentricity, the following same size, the following equations may be used:
equations must be satisfied
P = 0.707wLFv
P = P1 + P2 + P3
3
1 y1 + P3 y3 = P2 y2
L1y1 + L3y3 = L2y2
Groove Welds
Example 1
Solution Use L = 784 mm
Fu = 425 Mpa for E60 electrode (Table 3.1)
Allowable shear on effective area of weld (Table 3.2)
Fv = 0.3Fu = 0.3(425) =127.5 MPa
Based on weld metal shea
Allowable shear on base metal (Table 3.2) P = 0.707tLFv
Fv = 0.4Fu = 0.4(250) =100 MPa 424,000 = 0.707(6)L(127.
Considering one member only: L = 784 mm
P = 848/2 = 424 KN Based on base metal shea
Length of weld on one side, L = L1 + L2
P = AvFv
Av = t x L = 6L
{P = AvFv } 424,000=6L(100) L=706mm
Solution Use L = 784 mm
For balanced condition:
L1y1 = L2y2
L1(40) = L2(85)
L1= 2.125L2

[L = L1 + L2]
2.125L2 + L2 = 784 mm

L2 = 250.88 mm
L1 = 533.12 mm
