IntroductionA weldment is fabricated by welding

together a collection of metal shapes, cut to particular configurations.

During welding, the several parts are held securely together, often by clamping or jigging.

The welds must be precisely specified on working drawings, and this is done using the welding symbol, as standardized by the American Welding Society (AWS).

The body of the symbol contains as manyof the following elements as are deemed necessary:

Fillet welds:•The number indicates the leg size; the arrow should point only to one weld when both sides are the same• the symbol indicates that the welds are intermittent and staggered 60 mm along on 200 mm centres.

τ’ = V/Awhere V = shear forceA = throat area of all welds

13

Secondary shear, τ’’ = Mr / J Where: r = distance from the centroid of weld group to the point in the weld of interestJ = second polar of moment of area

The throat width of a fillet weld is 0.707h,

The relationship between J and the unit value isJ = 0.707 h Ju

Where h = weld sizeJu found by conventional methods for an area having unit width

Exercise:The figure shows a welded steel bracket loaded by a static force F. Estimate the factor of safety if the allowable shear stress in the weld throat is 120 MPa.

Answer: N = 3.57

17

The shear force produces a primary shear in the welds of magnitude

τ’ = V/AWhere: V = shear force

A = throat area of all welds

The second moment of areaIu = bd2 / 2

 The second moment of area based on weld throat area,

I = 0.707 h Iu = 0.707 h bd2 / 2 The nominal throat shear stress
