RE: Strength of Plug Welds
Plug welds can be treated like fillet welds. If you know the size of the weld, weld metal type you have all of the essential variables necessary to determine the allowable stress per unit length of weld under tension (based on weld metal ultimate tensile strength) and shear (50% of the ultimate tensile strength as and approximation).
