A question about plate splice

[tmgczb]

What is the required slope in the splice of flange plates of different width, 1:6 or 1:4?

I cannot understand the question... Can you have more lines of fasteners?

This is a welded splice connection, but top part is narrower than the bottom part.
To avoid a sudden change of member section, there shall be a piece to make it change smoothly.

well, if it was an aircraft part, I would make it at least 1:10, and then calculate the Kt at the end of the taper and apply that Kt to the stresses to calculate margins of safety.

presumably the dots are actually dashes showing the web of an I-section, and not fasteners ???

 

[rb1957]

1) why are there different widths of the splice plate ?

2) why not use straight tapered sides (a trapezoid) ?

3) what is the loading on the underlying structure ? a beam in bending ? a web in shear ? a web in tension ??

4) what do the dots mean ? not fasteners if welding ??

More than 1: 4 ( If fatigue is concern and t≥ 25 mm)
