Fillet weld size for structural weld
Fillet weld size for structural weld
(OP)
Dear All,
How can I calculate required fillet leg size for structural welds i.e saddle,
in section VIII divI i could find below mentioned clause,
Can someone elaborate below mentioned clause in the form of equation and define each variable,
UW-18
(d) Unless the sizing basis is given elsewhere in this Division, the allowable load on fillet welds shall equal the
product of the weld area (based on minimum leg dimension), the allowable stress value in tension of the material
being welded, and a joint efficiency of 55%.
Or else what is the other way to find the required leg size
Regards,
Stephen Samuel

What are you building and how are you designing the other joints and connections?

And I want to know how to size fillet for saddle welds.
