When welds are subjected to compressive or tensile or shear force alone, the stress in weld is given by :(a) P/ttlw(b) Ptt/lw(c) Pttlw(d) Plw/ttThe question was posed to me in class test.My enquiry is from Design of Welds topic in division Welded Connections of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Correct choice is (a) P/ttlw

The explanation: When welds are subjected to compressive or TENSILE or shear force ALONE, the stress in weld is given by q = P/ttlw , where q=shear stress in N/MM^2, P = force transmitted, tt = effective throat thickness of weld in mm, LW = effective length of weld in mm.
