Weld Strength Calculations
(OP)
What references does everyone use for weld strength calculations? Namely in Canada?
I use CSA S16, but Section 13 doesn't cover all configurations possible.

I can't speak for what specifications or codes in Canada would give you any equations but this site may help

Another site where there are lots of equations for welded joints is a site called
"Roymech" if you type this into google it should enable you to find it.

I have seen those websites before, desertfox. The information looks correct, but I have a hard time trusting any website that was put together by an individual person. Especially when the bottom of the page says that the page is still being developed, or it's almost 15 years old.

Well I have used those sites and I have checked the formula against text books and found them to be okay.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
