Weld Subject to Both Bending and Shear Question

Weld Subject to Both Bending and Shear Question

Weld Subject to Both Bending and Shear Question

(OP)
I essentially have this situation, but the the load is longitudinally along the tip of the plate: http://www.gowelding.com/calcs/ (You have to go to the one labeled "cantilever"). For some reason I can't provide a DIRECT link to it.

I am trying to search for my situation in a simplistic example or literature and I can't seem to find it.

I've attached what I'm looking to do.

Any help on calculating the demand and capacity would be appreciated.

RE: Weld Subject to Both Bending and Shear Question

Have you looked at the DWS manal by Blodgett? (Design of Welded Structures)

Thanks for the help, Mike. I checked out the Blodgett book and it was a great explanation!

RE: Weld Subject to Both Bending and Shear Question

A fillet weld (near side only) should not be used to resist a load like P2.

RE: Weld Subject to Both Bending and Shear Question

P2 resolves itself into a tension load and a shear load similar to P1... not ever done a design for this particular type of loading, but have done lots of them that are similar. So, you have bending shear and tension...

RE: Weld Subject to Both Bending and Shear Question

BA is correct, the weld needs to be on both sides. With a double side fillet weld, P1 and P2 will create normal and perpendicular loads to the weld, which are resisted by shear in the throat. With a single sided fillet, the eccentricity between the plate and the weld create bending in the weld, for which it nominally has no capacity.
