Question 1 |
A weld is used for joining an angle section ISA 100 mm x 100 mm x 10 mm to
a gusset plate of thickness 15 mm to transmit a tensile load. The permissible
stress in the angle is 150 MPa and the permissible shear stress on the section
through the throat of the fillet weld is 108 MPa. The location of the centroid of
the angle is represented by C_{yy} in the figure, where C_{yy}=28.4mm. The area of
cross-section of the angle is 1903 mm^2. Assuming the effective throat thickness of the weld to be 0.7 times the given weld size, the lengths L_1 and L_2 (rounded-
off to the nearest integer) of the weld required to transmit a load equal to the full strength of the tension member are, respectively
